MOGWAI If The Stars Had A Sound Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Press Release

Picnik Entertainment & The Movie Partnership are excited to announce that their multi-award-winning film Vindication Swim, will be coming to all major digital platforms on 10th June following a hit theatrical release earlier this year.


Based on the inspirational true story of Mercedes Gleitze, who in 1927 became the first British woman to swim the English Channel. Vindication Swim depicts Mercedes’ upstream struggle in overcoming both the cold waters of the English Channel and the oppressive society of 1920s England. However, after a rival comes forward claiming to have accomplished the same feat, Mercedes is forced into battle to retain her record and her legacy.



Earlier this year Vindication Swim hit UK cinemas with a splash, breaking top 20 at the box office and receiving a wave of positive reviews including The Language of Film who praised the film as “a truly epic independent film on a scale never seen before”

Directed by Elliott Hasler the film features a standout British cast including an award-winning debut performance from Kirsten Callaghan, in the role of Mercedes Gleitze.

Vindication Swim also stars John Locke (Poor Things), Victoria Summer (Saving Mr. Banks), James Wilby (Poldark) and Douglas Hodge (Joker).
