This Sunday 5 November at Keswick Alhambra Cinema, watch the premiere screening of Under The Surface, a documentary film that follows swimmer Jim Read exploring acceptance after injury, men’s mental health, and what it means to be vulnerable as a man in the endurance swimming world, hosted by cold water swimmer Becca Harvey.
Alongside this very first screening of Under the Surface, the event will also be screening two more unseen short films – an extended cut of SOuP, a film exploring access rights and the cold water swim community based in the Peak District, as well as Turning the Tide, a short film documenting the start of Julia Mansi’s journey into swimming.
After the screenings there will be a free-to-enter raffle full of water-related prizes, and a Q&A with swimmers Jim Read, Stephen Gould, Simon Hagger and the Lake District locals The Blue Mind Men, talking about men’s mental health, swim community and sustainability in the sport.
