Our Judges say:
90 year old man doing wild swimming for mental health. Lovely.Paul Hodgson Music Judge
This short film tells the story of Walter Strohmeyer, who for almost all of his 90 years has been swimming in the waters off Long Island, New York. An honest and at times heartfelt story about the power of ritual and of the Ocean’s ability to rejuvenate, heal and inspire us.
