Arte - Dolphin Man (2017

Dolphin Man focuses on Jacques Mayol's life and legacy, and contains some stunning imagery of present-day freedivers like Mehgan Heaney-Grier, Umberto Pelizzari and William Trubridge as well as some great archive footage of Mayol in his heyday when he pushed the limits and boundaries of freediving.

As part of the Mayol journey, the film also delves into his relationship with dolphins, and how not only was he fascinated and inspired by them, but also that some dolphins were intrigued with his ability in the water, and how over the years he formed close bonds with dolphins.

The stunning film is narrated by Jean-Marc Barr who portrayed Mayol in the acclaimed film The Big Blue.
