Big River Man is a very interesting film, Watch a guy swim the length of the Amazon

I watched this documentary the other night and very highly recommend it. This guy is a testament to human will power on a scale that's hard to describe. Martin Strel is literally one of the baddest dudes on the face of the earth.

Here's the trailer-

Someone on here recently said their friend made that movie (was it you?).

Anyway, I'm definitely wanting to see it. Martin Strel was recently featured in Outside magazine. Both he and the film sounded fascinating.

The article in Outside is fascinating. The dude's swam in just some disgusting rivers. He talks about one river he swam in (maybe in Africa... can't remember) where he was swimming past floating corpses. He's gotten all kinds of nasty infections and illnesses from his swims.

Shit he probably floats down the rivers with that body. How much swimming does he actually do drinking two bottles of wine a day?
