The Raft (12A)
Dir. Marcus Lindeen, Denmark/Sweden, 2018, 97 mins, subtitled.
Cast. Daniel Giménez Cacho, Maria Björnstam, Mary Gidley.
Main language: Swedish
In the summer of 1973, five men and six women from different nationalities, races, religions and social backgrounds sailed across the Atlantic on a raft. Dubbed 'one of the strangest experiments of all time' (and also more salaciously as the 'Sex Raft'), it was intended to be a scientific study of violence, aggression, sex and group behaviour. Nobody expected what ultimately took place on that three-month journey. Over 40 years later, director Marcus Lindeen has re-created the raft in a studio and invited the seven survivors of the expedition to reflect on their time at sea, unveiling the hidden story behind this fascinating experiment.
