Fall in love with the River Avon and the people fighting to protect it, the Bristol way! Rave On For The Avon is a feature-length documentary film that follows campaigners and river lovers across a year and a half, charting their highs, their lows, their love and loss. Campaigning never looked so fun and friendly as it does in this joyous documentary about Bristol’s clean water campaigners.” The Guardian 4 Stars In this tender film, Director Charlotte Sawyer tells a story of a community of wild swimmers in Bristol (UK) affected by raw sewage pollution of the river Avon. In a series of moving, exciting and thought-provoking scenes, the swimmers create a stunning, light-hearted yet fascinating tapestry, probing how activism starts from the grassroots, and carries a profound universal lesson for all of us. The film features a bunch of eclectic characters including, Lindsey a mermaid who is the first to cross the Bristol Channel towing a giant poo, Meg who marries the river and the Conham Bathing group, who have taken testing the river water into their own hands. All set to a Bristol sound featuring artists such as Elder Island, Ngaio and Maz McNamara Rave On For The Avon is an unforgettable look at the spark that makes our region tick.
