The Scoop: BIG RIVER MAN

Big River Man is the story of Martin Strel, a Slovenian endurance swimmer who attempts to be the first person to swim the Amazon River. At 52, Strel does not appear to be the man for the job.  (Not to mention he's over-weight and an avid drinker!)

Here's a link to an interview with Martin, his son Borut, and filmmaker John Maringouin 30 minutes after the film's final screening at Sundance.
