The Lost Boys of Carbis Bay | Dir. Daniel Simpkins
The Carbis Bay Crew, a daring band of unlikely explorers, embark on a quest to uncover the forgotten mines of Cornwall, only to unearth an unexpected journey of self-discovery.
A daring band of unlikely explorers, the Carbis Bay Crew, venture into Cornwall’s forgotten mines, unearthing not just history but a powerful journey of connection, resilience, and self-discovery.
For over 30 years, this remarkable motley crew have descended into the depths: dangling down mine shafts, wading through chest-deep water and squeezing through impossibly tight spaces. What appears to be an adrenaline-fuelled hobby is, in truth, a lifeline. Beneath the surface, the darkness offers freedom, a way to release the pressures of everyday life and reset.
Filmed over two years, this deeply personal project explores far more than mine exploration. It is a story about the importance of community and the quiet battles of men’s mental health. In these hidden tunnels, the Crew find solace, understanding and the strength of belonging.
As group leader, Pat Moret, reflects in the film:
“The shared experience we all have together is something that men have done for hundreds and hundreds of years… They’ll go hunting together, they’ll go out on a boat together, they’ll go to war together. It’s a need to feel a part of something.”
This documentary is a testament to that need, to the power of camaraderie, the comfort found in shared struggle and the deep human instinct to belong.
