Calling all Yorkshire dipper!
Come along on 20 August for a special intro to this inspiring documentary dives into the cold water swimming community of Gaddings Dam, Yorkshire, home to the highest beach in England.
What drives somebody to swim in a freezing reservoir, and what do they find on the other side? Wild Water tracks the Yorkshire landscape and the community surrounding it as they use the restorative powers of cold water to reconnect with their mental health, identity, nature and each other through cold water swimming.
“Not only a beautiful portrait of a place and its people, but a meditation on the simple, life-affirming powers of a pastime as old as the hills themselves: swimming. Wild water should be available on prescription” – Benjamin Myers (Gallows Pole)
