Descent


Nays Baghai | Australia | 2020 | Partial Subtitles | CC Available
66 min

Kiki Bosch is a professional free diver who plunges into the world's most freezing waters on a single breath, without a wetsuit, challenging herself to endure ever more frigid temperatures with each dive. Kiki discovered the healing effect of cold-water immersion after experiencing the debilitating trauma of sexual assault. From diving the stunning and meditative waters of the iceberg covered fjords of Greenland to the frozen lakes of Finland, she has pushed her physical and psychological limits to overcome her scars and break boundaries that most people can barely imagine. She now travels across the world and inspires others to harness the power of the cold for their own healing.
