A documentary about the disastrous 1968 round-the-world yacht race. —IMDb
A film of a mediocre sailor who in some ways chewed off more than he could handle, and without really thinking entered a round-the-world boat race. This was in 1968, so just forget about anything even resembling a GPS device. The documentary shows his financial backer, his family, friends, the press and what in both retrospect and at the time happened. Very interesting and fascinating.
Brilliant Doc focusing on the Strange voyage of Donald Crowhurst. Everything here works and the story is simply amazing
