Changing Channels (2024)

Plot

Gerrard Gosens is poised to make history as the first blind person to tackle the challenging 34+ km swim from Dover to Cape Gris-Nez. Navigating the frigid and tumultuous waters of the English Channel, he relies on a dedicated team of guide swimmers—Hayden, Phil, Jo, Rosie, Alexis, and Sarah—to help him maintain synchronization. With fewer than 3,000 successful swims recorded since 1875, this endeavor is rare; in fact, more people have summited Mount Everest. Having previously scaled Everest, Gerrard aims to inspire others by coming closer to France than any blind swimmer before him.
