Vindication Swim dives into the extraordinary life of Mercedes Gleitze, who in 1927 became the first British woman to swim the English Channel.
The film depicts Mercedes’ upstream struggle in overcoming both the cold waters of the Channel and the oppressive society of 1920s England.
However, when a rival comes forward claiming to have performed the same feat and is shown to be lying, Mercedes’ own achievement is called into question. Mercedes is forced into a repeat performance to retain her record and her legacy.
“Great film, beautifully shot and great cast. Outstanding performances from Kirsten Callaghan and John Locke. Perfectly paced and very inspirational.”
"Vindication Swim is a triumph of storytelling, craftsmanship, and emotion. It's a film that not only entertains but also inspires, leaving a lasting impression on audiences long after the credits roll. Whether you're a fan of historical dramas or simply appreciate a compelling tale of triumph against adversity, this film makes a splash.”
