Film about first person to swim around the Isle of Man released this year

A film about the first person ever to swim around the Isle of Man will be released on International Women's Day.

Mercedes Gleitze managed the huge feat in 1930, three years after becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel.

Vindication Swim began filming in 2019 but was delayed by the Covid pandemic - it stars Kirsten Callaghan as Gleitze.

The movie will be released on March 8.
