THE RAFT

In 1973, decades before Big Brother and reality TV, five men and six women of differing ages and nationalities spent 101 days drifting across the Atlantic on a raft. They were part of a scientific experiment studying the dynamics of aggression, violence, and sexual attraction. This award-winning new documentary looks back at this singular expedition (dubbed “The Sex Raft” by the sensation-hungry media)—reuniting surviving crew members and mining a wealth of archival 16mm footage from the voyage. “Gripping.” –Variety. Subtitles. DCP. 97 min.
