IRISH FOCUS: UNSINKABLE + Q&A

Director: PETER GROGAN & ALAN CORCORAN

60 mins, Ireland, 2022, Digital


Unsinkable follows Waterford man Alan Corcoran as he attempts to swim the 500-kilometre length-of-Ireland from Antrim to Waterford, the first person ever to undertake such a challenge.

Against the backdrop of picturesque coastline and turbulent seas, the film reveals the succession of physical, financial  and logistical challenges faced during this monumental swim. Raising €30,000 for cancer and stroke charities in memory of his dad, Milo, Corcoran travels on a journey through grief, using the swimming project to channel his emotions into a meaningful and inspiring adventure. Unsinkable is a the story of an extraordinary physical feat and a compelling portrait of one man’s determination and resilience.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with Alan Corcoran.
