Prime Video: The 'Cirque Du Soleil: Without a Net' doc digs into the iconic company's bounce back

Love redemption stories? Love to root for the top dog after something as unpredictable as COVID-19 shuts down greatness? Prime Video already knows it has fire on its hands with the new Cirque du Soleil: Without a Net premiering in the coming days.

It’s a full-fledged documentary looking behind the scenes of Las Vegas’ massive franchise and goes into the magic of what makes it one of a kind.

When Cirque du Soleil moves to reboot its flagship production, O, more than a year after an abrupt global shutdown, both performers and crew members face uncertainty as they work to return to their world-class standards in time for the (re)opening night curtain in Las Vegas. With unprecedented access, filmmaker Dawn Porter (John Lewis: Good Trouble, Trapped) captures the dramatic personal highs and lows of the world’s most famous circus act on its journey back from the existential brink.
