Dolphin Man: the Story of Jacques Mayol

Man, dreams and the sea. The combination of rare archival footage and modern underwater shots in Lefteris Charitos’s impressively humane documentary parallel the experience of free-diving with an inner-self journey through the world of Jacques Mayol, the Dolphin Man.
