The 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. The project became known in the press as ‘The Sex Raft’, but nobody expected what ultimately took place on that three-month voyage. Through extraordinary archive material and a reunion of the surviving members of the expedition on a full-scale replica of the raft, the film tells the hidden story of what has been described as one of the strangest group experiments of all time.
