简介: Two advanced scuba divers and old friends Don and Dave broke the depth world record at Boesmansgat Cave in South Africa. It takes them 15 minutes to reach the bottom but 12 hours to reach the surface. Against all odds they reach the bottom and discover a body. They decided to come back and retrieve it. They called their parents, recruited eight divers, and hired a photographer to document the dive. Cameras will track them throughout their preparation and dive, including reaching the cave floor. Little did they know that Dave would not come back from that historic dive. In an age of overacting driven by self-promotion and self-filming, Boesmansgat is a story of loss and mourning where egoism and altruism, hubris and self-control, adventure and spirituality go hand in hand. A series of choices and tense paradoxes lead to a tragedy that was foreseen but unstoppable. Author: AADP
