Phillippe Croizon will attempt to swim across four straits joining the five continents.

Documentary following Phillippe Croizon, who along with his friend, long distance swimmer Arnaud Chassery, is attempting to swim across four straits joining the five continents.

Dh' fhulaing Phillippe Croizon tubaist uabhasach far an do chaill e a ghàirdeanan agus a chasan, ach on àm sin, tha e air misneachd a thoirt dha na mìltean de dhaoine leis na dùbhlanan snàimh aige.

Tha dùil aige a-nise, còmhla ri a charaid Arnaud Chassery, snàmhadair mòr-astar, snàmh tarsainn air ceithir caolasan a tha a' ceangal nan còig mòr-thìrean. Euchd air leth, agus air a chùl, tha an aon iarrtas airson dàn-thachartas, an aon spiorad làidir a tha a' toirt daoine còmhla air feadh an t-saoghail.

After suffering an horrific accident which resulted in the amputation of his arms and legs, Phillippe Croizon has inspired thousands with his swimming challenges.

Now, with his friend Arnaud Chassery, a long distance swimmer, his latest challenge is to swim across four straits joining the five continents. A human achievement driven by the same thirst for adventure and fighting spirit which celebrates the universal values of solidarity and equality.
