The Current, the
documentary, was filmed during April in the most beautiful sceneries in land
and sea of the island of Cozumel, in the Mexican Caribbean. It is an
extraordinary documentary about the lives of three wonderful characters, the
love they profess for life, the strength of their spirit... and the healing
power of the sea.
The Current tells the real
story of three extraordinary men: Jesse Murphree, American, former Marin
featured in Afghanistan, who due to an accident suffered the amputation of both
legs; David Hosick, American high performance athlete, who, after a terrible
game of rugby, was paralyzed from the chest down, with some almost normal
mobility in an arm and limited movement in the other; and Leo Morales, Mexican diver
who suffered cancer and because of this, his right leg had to be dismantled.
What could be considered as
a disability has become a source of strength and greatness of spirit for these
heroes. And the three of them discovered that underwater, any disability is only
in the mind, because inside the water, without the force of gravity, they are
free to fly. The beautiful coral reefs and shipwrecks of the Great Maya reef –which
runs between Cozumel and the territory of Quintana Roo– are the perfect set to
reflect the underwater exploits of this great team of expert divers, led by
Jean Michel Cousteau (son of the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau), who
accompanies them on their underwater adventure and by Kurt Miller, American
businessman and director of Make a Hero, a non-profit Association, producer and
film director. □
