Nader Couri, a true Carioca, architect and hang glider pilot for 24 years, has always been in love with sports. As a kid, living in Rio de Janeiro, by the beach, felt in surfing his first passion for the outdoors. The proximity with the ocean made him love all aquatic sports. In 1974 he saw free-flying starting in Brazil. But it was only in 1982 that he began hang-gliding. It was from that moment on that his life started to revolve around hang-gliding. Although he got to know a good part of Brazil onboard his little plane, it was through hang-gliding that he developed an irresistible passion for flying. In love with the city of Rio de Janeiro, Nader considers the flight to the Corcovado statue as one of the most beautiful flights in the world. The beauty of Rio de Janeiro seen from above motivated him in mounting a video camera to his hang-glider. As the cameras became smaller, these images became more frequent and better. It was during the recording of adventure television program that Nader met the director Sylvestre Campe. As they where filming, Nader knew he had found the right person to make his dream come true, a documentary depicting the magic of hang-gliding to the Christ the Redeemer statue.
