Big River Man Trailer (2010)

The trailer for Big River Man.

A film like no other, Big River Man is the story of Martin Strel, the World record holding endurance swimmer, and his insane attempt to be the first person to swim the world’s most dangerous river, the mighty Amazon.

Part world class sporting event, part Barnum & Bailey, we follow the eccentric and celebrated Slovenian Strel 3,375 miles over 70 days on history's longest and most perilous swim.

Framed by the crisis ridden, spectacular Amazonian Rain Forest and the indigenous people and their villages along the way, Big River Man will be colourful, thrilling, scary, often hilarious entertainment that will also be richly eco-enlightening and constantly surprising.
