My Greatest Escape (2009)

Former criminal Michel Vaujour, known for his daring escapes and defiance against imprisonment, opted for freedom and excitement over a life of captivity and obedience. Enduring 27 years in confinement, with 17 of those spent alone, he pulled off incredible getaways using fake weapons that could rival a Hollywood plot, including a bold helicopter rescue from a prison rooftop. Finally granted parole in 2003, his story of transformation is both inspiring and universally relatable. Vaujour's most significant escape wasn't physical but internal, breaking free from his own limitations and achieving enlightenment through introspection during his solitary confinement.
