Dave Not Coming Back. by Malak, Jonah,film director.; h264 (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by h264 in 2020.In October 2004, two cave divers and long-time friends, Don and Dave, dive in Boesmansgat, a mythical cave in South Africa. Dave was breaking a world record for depth. Once he reached the bottom, against all odds, Dave finds a body, which the two friends decide to come back and retrieve. They call the parents, enroll 8 support divers, and hire a cameraman to document the historic dive in its entirety – from the preparation on the surface to the operation at the bottom of the cave. Little did they know that, from that dive, Dave would not be coming back. In a time of over-performance driven by self-promotion and self-filming, DAVE NOT COMING BACK is a story of loss and mourning where ego and altruism, hubris and self-control, risk-taking and spirituality all go hand in hand. A chain of paradoxical choices that lead to a tragedy long foreseen, yet impossible to prevent.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
