I Go Further Under

I Go Further Under delves into the life of Jane Cooper, who at 17 years old, left Melbourne for Hobart. She requested local fishermen to take her to a secluded island, aiming to live in solitude with no plans for survival during the harsh winter months. This journey into isolation stirred political and media controversy, reflecting the complexities of her decision.

The film captures the intricacies of detachment and the psychological struggles that accompany such a drastic choice. Set against the backdrop of Tasmania in the 1970s, it paints a vivid picture of a young woman's internal conflict as she navigates the thin line between freedom and madness. I Go Further Under is an exploration of not just physical space, but also emotional landscapes shaped by solitude and the desire to escape societal expectations.
