The Raftsmen
1973. Inspired by a charismatic explorer, twelve men set sail from Ecuador aboard three handmade rafts. Destination? Australia. Battling raging storms, hunger pangs, and persistent doldrums, the ramshackle crew dreams of reaching the Land Down Under. Revealing interviews and beautifully restored 16mm footage from the voyage bracingly chronicle the most dangerous ocean crossing ever attempted.
