In a remote part of New Zealand’s South Island, “Harry” and his fellow underwater obsessives set out to dive deeper than anyone ever has before. Controversially, they plan to use hydrogen as a breathing gas – its explosive nature adding to the many hazards the close-knit team faces. As the 2019 Australian of the Year prepares to confront the dark waters and life-threatening cold, he questions the costs of his passion. In this SXSW-selected nailbiter, Peedom and co-director Alex Barry capture the tension, euphoria and mateship of this endeavour using Harris’s own vertigo-inducing cave footage, along with DOP Ben Dowie’s striking above-ground imagery and a compelling score by multi-award-winner Antony Partos.

DR RICHARD "HARRY" HARRIS

Dr Richard “Harry” Harris has worked in anaesthesia, diving and aeromedical medicine around the world. An interest in accident investigation, and search and rescue activities has been a theme during his diving and caving career. The 2018 Thai cave rescue was an opportunity to put those skills to work. Harry and his colleagues have explored caves to 285m depth, and shipwrecks to over 150m, in dives lasting over 16 hours. He is an experienced UW photographer and videographer who is now building a career in documentary films.
