DOLPHIN MAN
Dolphin Man uncovers the story and legacy of Jacques Mayol, a legendary free-diver whose life inspired Luc Besson’s The Big Blue. The film dives into Mayol’s world, capturing his compelling quest and taking the audience on a sensory and transformative journey that is free-diving. From the Mediterranean to Japan and from India to the Bahamas, we meet Mayol’s closest family and friends, and world free-diving champions. We are trying to paint the portrait of a man who reached the limits of the human body and mind, not only to break records but also to fulfill hopes of discovering a deeper link between man and the Sea.
