The Dark Wizard (Season 1)

"The Dark Wizard" (2026) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM — a portrait of Dean Potter, the climber, BASE jumper, and highline walker who spent his life locating the exact edge between possible and fatal.

Potter free-soloed big walls in Yosemite without a rope, walked highlines over thousand-foot drops, and flew wingsuits through cliff faces. He was also banned from national parks, in perpetual friction with authorities, and genuinely hard to know. Directors Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen don't try to explain him or excuse him — they get close. Dean Fidelman, Timmy O'Neill, Cedar Wright, and Alex Honnold all speak about a man they clearly admired and clearly feared for.

Potter died in a BASE jump in Yosemite in May 2015. The film came out in 2026, and the gap makes itself felt throughout. Stream "The Dark Wizard" (2026) online on iFILM.
