💙 This #MothersDay, the Don’t Be Prey team celebrates all the mothers, partners and role models whose love gives others the courage to keep moving forward — particularly in the water.
Behind every extraordinary journey are the people quietly holding everything together.
This behind-the-scene interview spotlights an incredible woman: Heidi Sowerby, Mark’s wife, who stood beside him through every step of the challenge.
Their stories of resilience, support and unconditional love remind us that endurance isn’t only found in the water, but also in the hearts of those cheering us on from the shore.
💙 Happy Mother’s Day.
Ps. 🎟️ Take Mum to one of our limited screenings this Sunday 😉 just saying!
What a special night for @dontbeprey.film across Australia 🌊
Huge thanks to Peter FitzSimons AM for hosting such a thoughtful and genuinely fascinating conversation with Mark & Heidi Sowerby and director Jeff Tseng @jtseng77 after tonight’s screening.
The room was packed with swimmers, doco lovers and curious minds, and the Q&A turned into something really memorable, honest, emotional, insightful and full of big conversations long after the credits rolled.
