Imagine Big Brother at sea, but with no evictions. Director Marcus Lindeen innovatively uncovers the human stories behind a 1970s social experiment, salaciously dubbed ‘The Sex Raft’.

In 1973, five men and six women drifted across the Atlantic on a raft as part of a scientific experiment studying the sociology of violence, aggression and sexual attraction in human behavior.

Although the project became known in the press as “The Sex Raft”, nobody expected what ultimately took place on that three-month journey.

Through extraordinary archive material and a reunion of the surviving members of the expedition on a full-scale replica of the raft, this film tells the hidden story behind “one of the strangest group experiments of all time.

A Q&A with the film’s director Marcus Lindeen hosted by Stuart Jeffries will immediately follow the screening.
