8 Miles High
Directed by Achim Bornhak
Starring Natalia Avelon, Matthias Schweighöfer, Milan Peschel, Georg Friedrich
8 Miles High (Das Wilde Leben) tells the incredible true story of European wild-child Uschi Obermaier. The film tracks her restless life from a small town girl in rural Bavaria to a fast-living fashion icon in Munich; from free-loving companion of the Rolling Stones to ultimately becoming the embodiment of the 60's generation of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. This is one woman's story about the discovery of freedom and the price one must ultimately pay to achieve it.
