When a fishing boat sinks in the stormy waters off the coast of Iceland every member of the crew perishes… except for one. What makes Gulli different and how did he manage to endure almost nine hours in the frozen sea? Based on astonishing true facts, this is the story of how one man’s innate survival instinct shocked an army of medical professionals and came to symbolise the strength and determination of a nation. Breathtaking seascapes frame this fascinating study of a reluctant national hero.

About a week ago I saw a man kneeling down at the side of the road near to my house. Wondering what he could be doing I got closer and realised there was some litter on the road, which the gentleman was picking up piece by piece and putting into a bin bag.

I want to do that.’ So that’s what we’ve been trying to do.’
The Ramona Flowers' music mixes electronica, rock, indie, singer Steve Bird’s incredible falsetto and a lot of emotion; showing that sometimes a gentler sound can shout loudest of all. They could be compared to the likes of The xx, or in parts even to Bastille who they were...
