‘Against the Tides’ is a documentary film abou ‘Against the Tides’ is a documentary film about channel swimmer Beth French and her ambitious goal to complete oceans seven, a series of the most dangerous channel swims around the world. Completing oceans seven is an incredible achievement in itself, but no swimmer has ever done so in a year. French’s goal is to be the first.

And when you get to the bottom, and you know that you’ve had a good run, and you’re like, ‘Oh my God I did that. That was me. We just pushed something that is stupidly heavy off a cliff and I just drove that thing down, and in that time, and everyone should have died and we didn’t’. And that’s awesome.”
