The stunning true story of Donald Crowhurst's 1968 solo round-thee-world sailing race that turned into an ill-fated voyage. Confronted by perilous sea, bad weather, an unfinished boat and painfully slow progress, Donald faces an impossible dilemma - to continue into the open ocean with a leaking boat or return home defeated and bankrupt. Using original 16mm footage, tape recordings and interviews, this film reconstructs one man's extraordinary physical and psychological journey.
