Review. The deepest breath

Another documentary to watch.

I've seen a lot of good documentaries, and lately is being difficult to find one really good. No matter the theme, there are a lot but as the same with movies and shows they are doing a lot, but most of them not really good. 

This one it is not bad. It's a sport documentarie, but also a beautiful story of competition and love or friendship. It's a about a sport I did not know anything about it. Free diving. As far as I saw there are some styles you can compite to go deeper in the sea normally with fins (a special one called monofin or two separated) or without fins. You can also compite in a swiming pool diving and completing the more lenghts as possible (or meters) or you can compite holding your breath just stopped in facing down in a swimming pool. The one going deeper is the most spectacular, not only because of the act itself, also because the places and the beauty of the performance.

Apart from that ,the sport has more attractive features... the fact that is a high risk sport for example. You can die everytime you try (despite of this has a very low rate of deaths) and also another one is how incredible is to hold the breath for more than 10 minutes or going up to 130 meters deep. How far you are from that......

Apart from how incredible is the sport, it is a well told story. There is some drama, a bit of healthy competition, and also they are able to surprise you at the end. 

As an anecdote, when you finish the movie, I was like of testing myself in the swimming pool.... and I even was not able to do a 25 meters length diving..... hahahaha

It is amazing.
