Processing your request, Please wait....Deep Water is the stunning true story of the first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race, and the psychological toll it took on its competitors.
Sponsored by the Sunday Times of London, the much-ballyhooed event attracted a field of nine, including amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst, who set out to circumnavigate the globe in late 1968.
Battling treacherous seas and his own demons, Crowhurst almost immediately comes apart as he faces the isolation of nine months on the high seas. Part adventure yarn and part metaphysical mystery, Deep Water is an unforgettable journey into one mans heart of darkness.
Released 3 September 2006. Directors: Louise Osmond, Jerry Rothwell. Documentary film.
Really enjoyed this one, it’s an extraordinary story of an enormous journey around the world and the mind too.
Very good
An absolutely incredible story, documenting the moving and ultimately tragic account of one man’s dream.
Also, the closing music is very sad and beautiful.
Must watch.
I loved this movie… fuck it was good!
I saw this on TV at Christmas a few years back.I was genuinely moved by the crazy unbelievable central story told by people who could command just as interesting a film documenting their stories.
Must watch, I rarely comment and regard myself as deeply cynical.
More gripping than any Holiwood movie. An extraordinary story told with great sensetivity.
