Big River Man

Our next cinema weekend is the 13th and 14th of June when we will be starting on the Friday night with the documentary Big River Man.

‘Director John Maringouin has chanced upon documentary gold – Strel is the sort of off-kilter character even the most imaginative fiction writer would have had trouble dreaming up’. – 4 Stars, Tim Evans, Sky News

In February 2007 Martin Strel began an insane attempt to be the first person to swim the entire length of the world’s most dangerous river, the mighty Amazon. Martin is an endurance swimmer from Slovenia, who swims rivers – the Mississippi, the Danube and the Yangtze to date – to highlight their pollution to the world. Martin is also a rather overweight, horseburger loving Slovenian in his fifties who drinks two bottles of red wine a day… even when swimming.
