Vindication Swim
Vindication Swim tells the inspiring true story of Mercedes Gleitze, who in 1927 became the first British woman to swim the English Channel. Battling unforgiving seas, societal expectations, and relentless challenges, Mercedes becomes a symbol of resilience. However, her achievement is soon questioned by skeptics, forcing her into a fight for recognition.
As Mercedes embarks on a grueling vindication swim, she faces both physical and psychological trials that test her determination. Vindication Swim vividly brings to life her pioneering spirit, the beauty and peril of open-water swimming and the obstacles women continue to face in the pursuit of equality.
