Post Description

Using rare archive and first hand testimony from those who knew him intimately, this film explores the life of Donald Campbell, one of Britain,s most compelling but doomed heroes.

Despite his triumphs, setting several world speed records on land and water, he remained a haunted man. His father Sir Malcolm Campbell had been a prolific record breaker but an indifferent parent and all his life Donald felt driven to emulate his father. 

But instead of endless success his career was dogged by bad luck, bad weather and the growing apathy of the British public. In 1967 he took his Bluebird boat to Coniston in the Lake District for an attempt on the water speed record. With the eyes of the world upon him, he crashed and was killed instantly, his body and boat lost for thirty years.
