How far do you have to travel to find yourself?   And what sacrifices are you willing to make to get there? Veiga Grétarsdóttir is the first person in the world to attempt to kayak over 2,000 kilometers around Iceland, counter-clockwise and “against the current.”   This achievement has been said to be comparable to climbing the mountain K2.

Veiga’s personal journey and inner struggle is no less remarkable.   The film follows her amazing 103 day journey around Iceland, with the magical, rugged coastline of the country a backdrop to the story of Veiga’s transition from a man to a woman.

“AGAINST THE CURRENT is a gem.   It’s gorgeous in many ways.” – Todd McCarthy, Deadline

“Sveinsson presents, in all its sublimity, the sea’s beauty, and deadly treachery, taking a loving, caring approach to Grétarsdóttir’s tale.” – Ray Lobo, Film Threat

Language: Icelandic (English subtitles)
