'Living On the Cam' documentary

Cambridge alone has a thriving community of live-aboard ‘boaters’, and a vibrant river-life with the river Cam a definitive feature of the city. Yet what of the community of boaters that has over yet the past 15 years transformed the Cam into a unique ‘floating village’? Who are they? What wider roles do they play in the community? What are the issues that affect them? What's it really like living on a boat?

Nautical But Nice invited Alex Strpd to document life on the river Cam, as a short film to be showcased at the Museum of Technology, on September 28th. Thank you to all the boaters who have participated so far! The concept looks set to be a long term project, with plans already underway to create a more in-depth documentary, plus interest from a leading TV channel.
