Last night, I caught one of the documentary films in The Pursuit of Excellence series from filmmaker Mark Lewis on PBS. The film, Synchronized Swimming takes an in-depth look at the passion, sacrifice, and determination it takes to compete on two of the top youth synchronized swimming programs in the US. The film is truly one of the most cinematic documentaries I’ve ever seen. The camera takes great pleasure in capturing the visual spectacle that is this little known sport. The film can be purchased through PBS for $10 and is certainly well worth it.
