The Life Of A Tower Climber is an inside look into the industry that keeps our cell phones operational. I myself have an extensive background in tower climbing, which is the very reason I was compelled to make this documentary. Tower climbing is an obscure niche industry with a very small community of men and a few women. Every day tower climbers are subjected to all weather condition any hour of the day in all parts of the country year round. Not a year goes by that few or many are killed on the job. Serious change is needed in terms of safety, pay and overall care for the climbers.
This is the cost of keeping us all connected.
