About the Event
Join us for a special screening of Don't Be Prey, plus a livestream Q&A with Mark Sowerby after the film.
Mark Sowerby’s life was upended in 2018 when a highly publicised short-selling attack on Blue Sky dismantled his reputation, identity, and self-belief. Turning to the ocean not for glory but for survival. Mark utilises marathon swimming as a mechanism to master fear and navigate the paralysis of prolonged uncertainty. Over the course of a decade, he attempts the Oceans Seven, a gruelling odyssey through cold, darkness, and apex predators. By his final crossing, Mark’s journey transcends mere physical endurance, evolving into a profound reclamation of self, achieved only by surrendering control to a team he learns to trust implicitly.
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Don’t Be Prey is an edge-of-your-seat adventure into one man’s fight to reclaim his life by taking on the world’s most dangerous marathon swims, the Oceans Seven. Featuring unforgettable characters, raw vulnerability and breathtaking ocean feats, it’s a gripping, uplifting journey of resilience, reinvention and what it really takes to survive.
