PRESS RELEASE
Following successful screenings at SXSW Austin, Sydney Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival, the Australian documentary DEEPER will open in cinemas around the country on 30 October. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jennifer Peedom (Sherpa, Mountain, River), DEEPER features hero of the Thai cave rescue, Richard “Harry” Harris, as he takes on his most perilous adventure yet...
Hold your breath!
In a remote part of New Zealand’s South Island, "Harry” and his fellow underwater obsessives set out to dive what could be the deepest-dived cave system in the world. 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 thrilling nail biter, Peedom captures the tension, euphoria and mateship of this endeavour using Harris’s own vertigo-inducing cave footage, along with striking above-ground imagery and a compelling score.
Garage is thrilled to announce that Richard Harris & guests will be taking part in Q&As around the country to support the theatrical release of the film.
