"Netflix has collaborated with A24, Motive Films, Ventureland and Raw on this gripping look at the undeniable connection forged between two athletes as they navigate the vigorous and competitive world of freediving. The Deepest Breath will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2023.
Logline: A champion freediver trains to break a world record with the help of an expert safety diver, and the two form an emotional bond that feels like fate. This heart-stopping film follows the paths they took to meet at the pinnacle of the freediving world, documenting the thrilling rewards – and inescapable risks – of chasing a dream through the silent depths of the ocean."

motivation: "I must go for run again  - regularly -  build up the distance to long ..." *Walk, run, do something ...	On long distance runs: the body produces lactate -  a by-product of muscles working in reduced oxygen. Guts of marathon runners nurture colonies of bacteria that can consume lactate. The bacteria transform lactate into propionate. Propionate "has been shown to increase the heart rate and maximise  the rate of oxygen consumption, making it essentially a natural performance-enhancing drug." Whipple, p.13.

Scheiman, J. et al. (2019) Meta-omics analysis of elite athletes identifies a performance-enhancing microbe that function, via lactate metabolism, Nature Medicine.

*I'm sure I recall reading in Bortz's 'Next Medicine' stressing the importance of movement to independence.
