ALL THE WAYWatch the full movie (60 min)
From award-winning documentary filmmaker Carl Eneroth at Sthlm Social Innovation Lab comes ALL THE WAY. A heart-pounding, intimate and mind expanding portrait of Swimrun team Pontus Lindberg and George Bjälkemo, as they prepare for their ultimate challenge… winning the 75 km ÖtillÖ Swimrun World Championships in the Stockholm archipelago… in trail shoes and a wetsuit. Considered as one of the toughest one-day endurance races on the planet, it is the origin of Swimrun. 65 km of trail running and 10 km of open water swimming over some 25 rocky islands in whatever conditions nature offers on Race day. Succeeding in that challenge takes years of training. And hours of pain. ALL THE WAY is an exploration of what it takes to be a Swimrun champion, apart from hard training, as well as an inspiring portrait of a freedom seeking sub-culture craving for a direct, uncontrolled experience of nature, pushing beyond their own limits to feel more alive. As they unlock the hero in themselves, and thus turn this epic Race into an adventure of timeless dimensions, they seemingly flip the idea of ”survival of the fittest” to "survival of the friendliest” when Swimrunners show the way. //Duration: 60 min. In Swedish with English subtitles.
