To the sea
Audience Award Winner – EOFT 2024
FREE STREAM - Since you enjoyed the film so much, you now have a one-time chance to stream TO THE SEA for free and relive the adventure of the two boys on the raft!
"On this trip, the rain never stops" - but neither do the two Londoners Ben and Hugo. In 2013 the pair set out to Sorsele in Northern Sweden to build a raft out of euro pallets and plastic containers. With their DIY construction christened "Melissa" they put in on the Vindelälven, bound for rapids, thunder storms and a bumpy ride to the sea.
Optimists at heart, the pair initially plans a two-week-trip — it would become a 6 year long expedition in stages. Year after year Ben and Hugo return to Sweden with their ukuleles "Red" and "Blue" to finish what they started, against all odds, midge invasions and cold fronts.
