Trapped
“The authentic footage from the unique rescue operation”
A ship sinks off West Africa. Everyone aboard drowns, except the cook. Trapped in a small air pocket with water up to his neck, he faces a slow death as oxygen dwindles. This extraordinary documentary follows untrained diver Nico’s daring mission to save him. After miraculously finding the cook alive after three days, Nico faces his biggest challenge yet: navigating narrow, deadly passages to bring him to safety. Told through authentic footage and audio from divers' helmet cams, this film showcases heroism, hope, and friendship, proving miracles can still happen.
