The award winning documentary film FREE SWIM (www.FreeSwimMovie.com) is finally coming home to the Bahamas with the Bahamas International Film Festival (BIFF).
The film will screen twice:
Saturday, December 12: Galleria JFK Cinema Theatre 3 / 11:30am
(Followed by a Q&A panel discussion)
Monday, December 14: National Art Gallery of The Bahamas / 6:00pm
(Followed by a porch talk/panel about swimming in the Bahamas)
FREE SWIM uses learning to swim as a storytelling prism for social, economic, and environmental issues. The film sparks deep conversation about a range of topics (public health and the impacts of drowning, environmental health and conservation, ocean and human health, sustainable development, history of race and swimming – just to name a few). It has been encouraging to see this film engage audiences of all ages – and around the world – as an educational tool that informs and inspires.
