Plot Summary

For over one hundred years, 500 swimmers have tried to swim across the widest river in the world: Río de la Plata. Some geologists consider it a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the largest drainage basin in South America, only second to that of the Amazon river.
Swimming across this river is challenging not only because of the 42 km (26 miles) separating the coasts of Uruguay and Argentina, but also because of its unpredictability, which makes it one of the most difficult in the continent
Cruce del Plata: Historia de un desafío is a medium-length documentary film portraying a challenge that has been pursued throughout history: swimming across the widest river in the world. Out of 500 swimmers, only 32 have managed to beat the unpredictability of this gigantic freshwater body.
