Join The Poly in Falmouth as they showcase Rave On for the Avon (12A).

Do humans have the right to nature? 

In this tender film, Director Charlotte Sawyer tells a story of a community of wild swimmers in Bristol affected by raw sewage pollution of the river Avon. 

England is one of the only two countries in the world to have a fully privatised water and sewage disposal system, and with only 14% of English rivers in good ecological health, the mission to keep the rivers clean is not going well. 

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. 

There’s a marriage to the river, drum’n’bass, a mermaid who tows an inflatable turd, and a whole lot of cheesecake in this poignant reflection on people’s innovative battles for the natural world they cherish.
