ROW THE ATLANTIC

Irklais per Atlantą

lithuania
Directed by: Aurimas Valujavičius

This riveting documentary chronicles the incredible but true story about Aurimas Valujavičius, who embarked on one of the greatest challenges of his (or anyone’s!) life: an 8500km solo journey across the Atlantic in his specially adapted rowboat ‘Lituanica.’ An immersive film, it captures all of Aurimas’s loneliness and euphoria, pain and joy, anxiety and hope that he can traverse the mighty, fearsome Atlantic Ocean. His watery travels will take him from continental Europe to continental North America, where he intends to arrive at the shores of Miami, Florida. After two years of intensive preparation, he starts his journey early on Christmas morning. Astonishing.
