“This new documentary examines OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, his quest to become the next billionaire innovator, and the doomed underwater endeavor that forced the world to reconsider the price of ambition in the depths of the ocean.”
Director Mark Monroe told thestreaming service, “When the Titan submersible went missing, I was horrified and mesmerized by the 24/7 news coverage and global social commentary – just like the rest of the world.
“There was no context for what could have happened to those onboard, and the only touchpoint was the Titanic, a story that’s now become a grim fairy tale.
“The more I dug into this terrible tragedy, the more intrigued I became about how this could have ever happened in the first place, and who exactly was the man who built and then went down with this ship.
“We hope that this film can help provide answers to these very questions.”
Part of the film will examine the questionable shortcuts that were made, including Rush’s decision to use carbon fiber for the submersible’s construction. Although it was a cheaper material, there were warnings that it wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure.
“The film… critiques a segment of society who believe the rules don’t apply to them, and feel well within their rights to break them in the name of something greater,” Monroe added.
“The greatest tragedy, and what I hope audiences come to understand, is how this disaster was completely avoidable.”
