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 is colourful, thrilling, scary and often hilarious entertainment both richly eco-enlightening and constantly surprising.

Saw this earlier in the year and loved it! Really funny and also quite interesting too. He's got a bit of a Borat vibe about him! Pre-ordered!

This is a documentary that entertains and fascinates from beginning to end. The hype would have you believe it's a "comedy" but that is far from the truth. Although there are some amusing moments, Big River Man is a tragic account of human frailty, and a stark warning over our ravaging of this planet. There is far more in this film to make you cry than laugh.

It starts off quirky and light-hearted, but soon descends into madness and depression.

One cannot be sure with these films, how much is 'staged' and how much is 'genuine' but nonetheless, it is awe-inspiring and thought-provoking stuff.

It makes me wonder why the UK media has been so oblivious to this man for so long. (Perhaps we are too busy watching vacuuous celebrity women and their overpaid footballing husbands).
