Absolutely extraordinary story and well done documentary from a filmmaking stand point mixed with amazing music and underwater footage! A Homage to life. And also a deeper meaning on how people are desperately looking for a purpose/meaning of life and just wanna be seen, connected, acknowledged and loved. I dont want to spoil anything, but all i can say is: If you always play with fire you will eventually get burned! So this is the risk you are and must always be aware of!

For me personally this sport is insane and these people in my opinion are looking in the wrong places to feel alive and special!

Is a world record worth your life if you know hundreds of people died doing this..?!

So unfortunately the films ending didnt have the impact it should have for me.. But it seems for others it does.. I just dont understand... Its still a great documentary.

But i just can't wrap my head around, why someone on earth would risk his life everyday, just to have a world record!?

I watched this with feelings of awe, fear and that captivating feel you inly get from underwater cinematography.

However.

It missed the emphasis of the final message.

A true act of limits and daring, for sure, but the emphasis of how dangerous Allessia is, to herself and her safety crew was wholly diluted.

Portrayed as a heroine.

What she did was selfish, I felt no element of compassion or others safety.

I was left feeling that he passed purely down to her own actions and nothing more.

He clearly had very strong feelings which impaired his actions, ibfelt she did nothing to try to help him and only focused on her achievements.

Such a sad loss.

I often find myself deeply fascinated by people's passions, at the same time it sometimes frightens me the idea of how the obsession with passion can possibly be the end of you literally and figuratively. What does it really take to go after your passion? And how willing are you to sacrifice for it?

I watched this documentary without any knowledge of freediving or the story and it immediately grabbed my attention right from the opening scene, that itself kept me on the edge

It's such an interesting element of the story structure how stunning they capture the concept to be as an extreme sport, yet how dangerous of an endeavor it actually is. It shows you both sides of the athlete's obsession about it and the lengths they go for it, which leaves you questioning wanting to understand the depths of satisfaction beyond passion given their lives are at dangerous risks knowingly.

The cinematography was stunning, incredible archival footage! It takes you through the diver's journeys from top to underwater beautifully it's sometimes scary. The interviews were heartfelt and informative enough for you to understand a bit of the extreme sport, while at the same time, it maintained sensations and delivered emotionally making you feel for the tragedy and how their story intertwined in destiny.
