Two Kilometres Underground: Inches of Breathing Room

Real Survival Stories
Contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Available for over a year

One of the world’s top cave photographers travels to Russian-occupied Georgia to capture images of a true natural wonder - a cave so deep it takes four days to reach the bottom. But when water cascades into the underground system, Robbie Shone will face a series of challenges beyond his worst nightmares. Soon he will find himself with literal inches of space in which to keep breathing… A Noiser production, written by Duncan Barrett.
