The Swimmer - watch the heart-warming short documentary

We're delighted to present a series of acclaimed Irish short cinema, presented in association with Screen Ireland. 

This week's theme is Heart-Warming Shorts - watch Thomas Beug's documentary The Swimmer below.

Delving into the peculiar, solitary psyche of West Cork open-water swimmer Stephen Redmond (the first person ever to complete the world-famous Ocean's Seven Challenge), The Swimmer looks at the beauty and poetry of Stephen's passion and touches on the lives of the people he has loved and lost.

Watch more short films from Screen Ireland here.
