Two teams descended into Norway’s Plura River, and two men did not come out. Now their surviving friends are faced with a secret mission to recover the bodies from a cave more than 100 meters below.
"You just cannot practice facing a dead friend at 110 meters."
That simple statement sums up the drama and tension of Diving Into the Unknown, a new cave-diving adventure documentary by director Juan Reina that tells a gripping tale of friendship, commitment and coping with loss. It’s set for worldwide iTunes release April 3, with DVD releases to follow in May.
“What are you willing to sacrifice to bring your friends home?” That’s the question posed by the film’s tagline, and it’s at the heart of the 85-minute documentary, shot in Finnish, English, Swedish, Norwegian with English subtitles.
