“He’s going too far.” It’s never enough for athletes! Always more, more, more. Paramount has revealed an official trailer for a fascinating sports documentary called Freediver, from director Michael John Warren. While this come across as a one-of-a-kind creation, this whole film seems like a response to the exceptional doc The Deepest Breath about two other eminent freedivers – mainly a youthful Italian woman named Alessia Zecchini who was also setting records. Anyway… After geopolitics forced him into exile, one of the greatest living freedivers, Alexey Molchanov, fights to reclaim his athletic glory and honor his iconic mother’s towering legacy by attempting a record setting season in the history of this deadly sport. His near-suicidal quest to set five world records in under four months brings him to the farthest reaches of the globe and his mind, forcing him to reevaluate the very skills on which he has built his entire life. Intense! This is such a scary yet lovely sport only a few people in the world can really compete in – don’t try this at home, folks.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Michael John Warren’s doc Freediver, direct from YouTube:

His near-suicidal quest to set five world records in under four months brings him to the farthest reaches of the globe and to the very edges of human performance. In the process, he’s forced to reevaluate all the skills and beliefs on which he has built his entire life.
