BIG RIVER MAN is the story of Martin Strel, the world record holding endurance swimmer, and his attempt to be the first person to swim the mighty Amazon River.
Set in the wilds of the Amazon, both tremendous and terrifying, we follow the celebrated Slovenian swimmer 3,393 miles over the course of 75 days, as he embarks upon the longest and most perilous swim in history.
The most famous man in Slovenia is a 53-year-old ex-gambler, who drinks heavily and maintains the girth of his pudgy physique to perfection. He also happens to be our heroic swimmer- not a typical athlete- but a holder of world records regardless.
