En 1937, decenas de miles de haitianos y dominicanos de ascendencia haitiana fueron exterminados por el ejército dominicano, basándose en el odio contra los negros fomentado por el gobierno dominicano. En 2013, la Suprema Corte de la República Dominicana despojó de la ciudadanía a cualquier persona con padres haitianos. El fallo dejó a más de 200.000 personas apátridas. Una joven abogada llamada Rosa Iris monta una campaña, desafiando la corrupción electoral y abogando por la justicia social.

As well as providing the subject for Luc Besson’s The Big Blue, Jacques Mayol did more than anyone to establish the sport of free diving to enormous depths without an oxygen supply. Using breathing techniques derived from yoga, he went to 50, 60, and even 100 meters—depths no one had considered to be within the bounds of human possibility. Mayol was a sportsman, a mystic, a vagabond, but above all, a man who believed in testing the limits of experience. This visually stunning tribute shows a man’s quest to be at one with the vastness of the ocean and to have no fear of the abyss within, where lurks serenity, freedom and finally, death.
