Life's a Beach

Life's a Beach is a moving and beautifully shot documentary about one man's fight to live outside the system; to live for and by himself; to be free. Jerry 'Mungo' Francis is a local legend. Using driftwood, fishing debris and old car parts, he builds his own home on a Folkestone beach and carves out an idyllic, self-sustainable lifestyle. However, bureaucracy is never far away. Mungo's mission suffers a setback as the land he lives on comes under dispute. Will David defeat Goliath in this endearing documentary?—Liam Bartie - Glasgow Film Festival
