'Descent' might take you to some of the lowest moments in the human psyche, but it's also a celebration of its most triumphant peaks. Kiki Bosch is captured as an everyday person who does extraordinary things, offering hope to others who might be missing something revelatory in their lives. Beautifully shot and wonderfully articulated, this documentary will take you deep below the surface, send shivers down your spine, and fill you with a warmth from within. - Charlie David Page Read Charlie's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-descent-freediving-from-the-depths-of-the-human-psyche-to-its-peaks
