Pablo Behrens was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and has lived in London since 1980. He is an award-winning producer, writer, and director. In 2021 he bought a boat for £1 and navigated the Thames Estuary, producing the short film 'The Crossing'. The work demonstrated the forces of nature - and the vulnerability - of the river environment. That intimate experience has motivated him to buy a bigger boat and to embark upon a more ambitious expedition to continue his mission of documenting the surviving wilderness of the Thames Estuary.
