The New York Times writes – “8 P.M. (EPIX) THE CURRENT (2014) The surfer Bethany Hamilton, who was 13 when she lost an arm in a shark attack; the Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin; and the wrestler Anthony Robles are featured in this documentary, directed by Kurt Miller, about the healing power of water sports. Jean-Michel Cousteau and his son, Fabien, narrate.”

Of course, we’d like to include in their description, Paralympic gold medalist swimmer Mallory Weggemann, spinal cord injury recovering athlete Grant Korgan, cancer survivor & world record holder Leo Morales, PADI certified adaptive scuba diver David Hosick, and veteran Jesse Murphree.
