Before you dive in.
Meet the swimmer.
Feel the crossing.
02 / The story
An ocean to cross.
A reason to keep going.
The English Channel is only part of the journey.
Follow Erwan Le Roy through the training, the cold water, and the doubt of an attempt to cross on his own strength. Behind every stroke are the people and the reasons that keep him in the water.
Breast cancer in his family is part of that story. This is a film about the crossing—and what it means to keep going.
A crossing with a purpose
For the people
still fighting.
Rental proceeds support cancer research at Gustave Roussy, a leading cancer research and treatment centre in France.
Breast cancer in Erwan’s family is part of the story behind the swim. Renting the film helps carry that purpose forward.
