Big River Man
When I see a swimmer, I paint a drowned man.
Directed by John Maringouin
Produced by Lightshow pictures
A documentary portrait of human obsession and endurance set against the Amazon's majesty and danger, where one man's extreme physical challenge becomes a meditation on mortality and meaning.
Follows Martin Strel as he attempts to cover 3,375 miles of the Amazon River in what is being billed as the world's longest swim.
