EDEN (2021)

UWE Film x 2b13 Productions

Shot on location in the Lake District, UK.

A poetic style short documentary following the extraordinary story of a transgender woman, who by taking on science managed to break the rules and find a new passion at the same time.

Eden Elgeti was part way through her male to female transition when she realised, she wanted biological children in the future. Told she was now unable to produce fertile sperm after the hormone treatments, a medical practitioner suggested there was a very small chance cold water might help reverse the effects and so she started extreme cold-water swimming.
