Anecdotes
All the swimming sequences were shot in the English Channel itself without the use of any tanks, green screens or body doubles. Lead actress, Kirsten Callaghan, trained for months in open-water swimming prior the filming and completed all those sequences herself without the use of stunt doubles, sometimes swimming for up to four hours at a time.

True life tale of courageous woman

So enjoyed Vindication Swim- the true life tale of Mercedes Gleitz, a courageous young woman who had to work so hard to be recognised as the first British female to swim the channel . The young writer / director has captured the spirit of this early 1900s era with a combination of black and white/ colour atmospheric cinematography. Costumes, vehicles and buildings are accurately " of the time" .The scenes set at sea show the harsh conditions experienced by both the swimmer herself and the support team ( no sat nav and motors)! This young writer/ director Elliott Hasler shows great promise. Well worth a watch.
