Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Don’t Be Prey is a high-adrenaline, emotionally charged comeback documentary for audiences who crave stories of real human grit – told through one of the world’s most extreme endurance challenges, The Oceans Seven.

Across five continents and seven ocean challenges, one man confronts fear, uncertainty and trauma in a fight to reclaim his life.

Mark Sowerby’s life was upended in 2018 when a highly publicised short-selling attack on Blue Sky dismantled his reputation, identity, and self-belief.

Turning to the ocean not for glory but for survival. Mark utilises marathon swimming as a mechanism to master fear and navigate the paralysis of prolonged uncertainty. Over the course of a decade, he attempts the Oceans Seven, a gruelling odyssey through cold, darkness, and apex predators.

By his final crossing, Mark’s journey transcends mere physical endurance, evolving into a profound reclamation of self, achieved only by surrendering control to a team he learns to trust implicitly.
