Last Breath (360G-Wellcome-207583_Z_17_Z)
Last Breath is the story of how a commercial diver is stranded on the sea-bed with 5 minutes of back up gas, but no chance of rescue for over 30 minutes. Told through compelling interviews, dramatic reconstruction and extraordinary archive, this is the true story of one man’s impossible fight for survival. It is Gravity meets Touching the Void – 100 metres underwater. At the heart of the film is the journey of Chris Lemons from the moment he loses his gas feed to his lifeless body being resuscitated 36 minutes later. During this time he went through several phases of consciousness, and made a series of decisions while under extreme emotional stress as he slowly transitioned into unconsciousness. The complex interaction between his mind and body through-out this period raises many questions relevant to current neuroscientific, physiological and philosophical research? Our scientific consultant is Dr. Tristan Bekinschtein from the University of Cambridge who specialises in the physiology and cognition of consciousness. Netflix and BBC are finanicers, giving Last Breath a huge potential worldwide audience who will engage with a powerful story, the questions it raises about consciousness and what it means to be human.
