Channel float
2004 | FSK 6 | 93 min.
Jellyfish, fields of algae, huge container ships, lots of dirt, unpredictable currents and 16 degree cold salt water. The 33 kilometers of the English Channel from Dover in England to Calais on the French coast are considered the Mount Everest of long-distance swimmers, one of the greatest physical and mental challenges in the world.
The documentary Channel Swimmers follows three swimmers in their dramatic attempts to cross the English Channel. An adventure film about a mythical stretch of water, cinematic explorations of human passions.
