Deeper (2025) SXSW 2025


This is a portrait of Dr Richard Harris, best known as one of the divers who rescued the Thai soccer team who got trapped in the  flood cave with no way out. The film charts his life and accomplishments as he prepares to go deeper into the Pearse Resurgence, a flooded cave in New Zealand. 

This is a good, if routinely told tale, made interesting by the gorgeous photography. You are going to want to see this film on a big screen  because the cave diving images will take your breath away.  

I really liked this film a great deal. Sure it covers a bunch of the material that previous cave rescue films covered but it expands them and fills out Harris's story with the dive into the Resurgence.

Recommended, more so if you want to see some truly spectacular dive sequences.
