This story is about a man who defies the effects of cold weather and ice. That isn't all though as he wants to explain to others they too can stand for hours naked in sub-freezing temps through harnessing the breathing for starters. The breathing is the crucial, apparently, first step in him teaching others to basically use more of their potential than they currently use...much more. So much more it goes beyond just the control of the body's temperature culminating in the immune system. That opens up healing which our bodies are capable of but may always take to the most powerful levels without our help. This is a bit repetitive and attempts to scientifically explain the whole phenomenon seems a bit uncertain even as it gives a few answers. Even when it drags there is something highly unusual going on with Wim Hoff. Maybe he's what we're suppose to be more like and therefore we're the unusual ones? At any rate the man has tapped into something and the body and mind responds. Whatever is happening this is an exceptional situation with the potential to unlock more of what we as humans are actually blessed with but have failed, or forgot, to use. I think that makes this film both a curiosity and potentially groundbreaking. Wim Hoff is genuinely a man whose control of his body is amazing and, in turn, what all of our bodies can do is even more so.
