Laura McGann’s “The Deepest Breath” is a film about two young people fated to meet despite their differences. Alessia is driven from a young age to compete: Holding her breath for minutes at a time in both the pool and the sea. Stephen travels the world, torn between his desire to see new people and places and his longing for home, and a more conventional life.
But it’s also about the wisdom of age, as we see their fathers–Enzo and Peter–dealing with the tragic outcome of their children’s intertwining. One eternally grateful, the other grieving, but coming to realize that his child’s life was one well-spent.
Join Mike as he discusses with Laura her visually and dramatically compelling film, one that almost literally immerses you in the beautiful, thrilling, but sometimes dangerous world of freediving.
The “Deepest Breath” will be screening in select theaters July 14th, and streaming on Netflix beginning on July 19th.
