Martin Strel isn’t anyone’s idea of an athlete. The Slovenian is over 50 and overweight. But this unlikely hero also braves some of the world’s largest rivers.
Martin has swum the Mississippi, the Danube, and the Yangtze to draw attention to environmental issues. His next challenge is the Amazon, but it won’t be easy. Would you take a dip with piranhas, rapids, and toxic pollution?
He takes on the task with the help of horse burgers and his two bottle a day wine habit. I think you may have to kill a few brain cells before taking on the Amazon!
This is the trailer for Big River Man, a documentary based on Martin’s inspirational, and slightly insane, story.
