THE RAFT

THE RAFT

Presented by The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque and Cleveland Institute of Art at The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque

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.
