In the wake of her cancer diagnosis, Lizzie Carr MBE paddleboards along the UK's rivers and canals alongside 100 volunteers over 28 days. Determined to fill the gap left by government inaction, Lizzie unites experts and volunteers to test river water, exposing hidden dangers and demanding answers, realising that without government support, we may never know what lies beneath the surface. Followed by a live Q&A with Lizzie and the director.
