'Rooftopping is my art form': The death-defying couple who climb the world's tallest skyscrapers Netflix Skywalkers, a jaw-dropping Netflix documentary featuring Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, follows the "rooftoppers" as they risk their lives for art atop the world's tallest buildings. Netflix Angela Nikolau, shown here performing an acrobatic stunt against the skyline, is the daughter of circus performers Beerkus says in the documentary: "the higher I went, the easier it was to breathe" and tells the BBC that his thrill-seeking is part of his identity. People often tell us that when they've seen the movie, they say they come out of it feeling more alive than usual – Angela Nikolau With its combination of jaw-dropping imagery and attractive young protagonists, Skywalkers: A Love Story has all the elements to be a hit, like National Geographic's 2018 film Free Solo, about climber Alex Honnold's attempt to conquer a 900m vertical rock face at Yosemite National Park without any safety equipment. Netflix The film-makers wanted the couple's romance to be front-and-centre of the documentary While there's a slickness to the documentary – the couple mainly speak Russian, but technology means their narration is provided in English, and the film also credits "story producers" – Zimbalist says he told those interested in backing the film that essentially, Skywalkers was guerilla film-making.
