Cozumel and the pristine coral reefs are serving as yet another film location.   In this case, the project is entitled,   “The Current” and is a 40 minute documentary, narrated by Jean-Michel Cousteau, and Robert Redford.  The documentary describes the story of six individuals, who are challenged by incredible obstacles, yet manage to become real heroes. The film follows their story as they learn to scuba dive and participate in other water sports, allowing them to once again have freedom of movement.   Funding for this project came through the Make A Hero non-profit, as well as federal, state and local tourism departments.  The Current’s director Kurt Miller, is also a war veteran with disabilities, and features professional diver Leo Morales, who recently set a deep diving record, here in Cozumel, for divers with disabilities.

For more information, including a partial trailer of the film, check out the Make a Hero Webpage.
