Life's A Beach' Charity Screening

'Life's A Beach' Charity Screening

Trailer

Mungo

Some of you may know that for the last 19 months we have been making a documentary film about Mungo (see description below). Due to his recent tragic death filming will shortly be coming to a close, but we will be holding a charity screening at Folkestone’s Quarterhouse on the 10th April 2012 (Mungo’s birthday) in aid of Dover RNLI.

Ticket are available at the Quarterhouse box office or via their website 

 

'Life’s A Beach'

Life’s A Beach is a documentary film about Mungo and the way he began living when he was forced ashore after his boat had rudder problems and consequently sank at Folkestone Warren.

He built a small cottage from driftwood and salvaged items and through his ingenuity and skill created an alternative lifestyle free from the burden and control of the utility companies and authorities.

But this is so much more than a story of someone living an alternative lifestyle; it’s a story of family, friendship, love, compassion and struggle.

Mungo became a ‘Local Hero’, an advisor, he brought people together from all walks of life, he became a destination.

The authorities didn’t have the same view however, and Network Rail started legal proceedings to have him removed……
