In 1931, a Swiss physicist by the name of Auguste Piccard became the first man to reach the stratosphere.
Nearly three decades later, in 1960, his son Jacques became the first to reach the ocean’s deepest point.
This remarkable true story is the basis for Hennessy’s film, “The Piccards”.
The film was awarded with five Gold Lions in Film Craft. For an in-depth look at how it was all made, watch a behind-the-scenes film put together by The Mill.
