9-time Freediving World Champion, Yasemin Dalkilic, explores the Spiegel Grove, a 510 ft long wreck off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. An amazing ecosystem home to many species like the giant Goliath Grouper, this wreck is also a dangerous dive, with stiff currents threatening to blow the diver away. Yasemin challenges herself by attempting to dive to the bottom of the wreck on one breath of air!

SYNOPSIS
Martin Khodabakhshian (9-Time Emmy Award-winning ESPN producer) directs and produces this fascinating documentary that truly goes to new depths in the search for man’s physical and mental limits. Breathefollows New Zealander, William Trubridge as he attempts to break his own world record in the extreme sport of Freediving.

Featuring candid interviews with locals who live in fear of the hole, interviews with William’s family members who are in constant fear for his life and stunning underwater footage of William in action, Breathe will literally leave you holding your own breath as William takes us on a journey to the depths of mankind’s fascination with the underwater world.
