Avis à la une
The decision to have two cameras on board (one hand held) & to film everything during Maiden's 167 day race gives the viewers great insight into the beauty & dangers of the open ocean, and to the challenges both internal & external for a group of humans trying to both compete & survive. The special features interview of making the doc provides many answers, but would have liked a few minutes more background/update on participants as well as both that boat & that race's history.
After being reluctantly dragged to this movie by my spouse, I found myself surprising interested in a sailing race I would normally consider the silly pursuit of the idle wealthy. I came to care whether the female crew succeeded in its unlikely quest.
The movie is well worth seeing even if you know or care nothing about around-the-world sailing.

I had no clue that this was even a thing. I mean I knew about boat-racing but didn't realize that it was this crazy and dangerous. This whole story is so inspiring and amazing. Overall I very much enjoyed it. Like some other reviewers said, this movie is probably too short as it doesn't go into as much detail as it could, but for introducing people to this story, I'd say this movie is great. Not every Documentary is gonna have all the facts.
This is a film that doesn't leave you: the images of gigantic waves and ice bergs and superhuman levels of courage and endurance are hard to process. If it were a work of fiction you would dismiss it as Hollywood hype: but it's not, it really happened and you are with them in the boat to watch their epic achievements. Just see it.
An absolute gem of a documentary. I was completely unaware of this story, don't know if it ever made news in the U.S., so hats off to the producers for telling the world about these amazing women. This is a must-see documentary for anyone, and ESPECIALLY if you're a dad with athletic daughters - you must sit with them and watch it together.

- AnecdotesIn 2014, Tracy Edwards learned that her boat, "Maiden," was rotting on the rocks in The Seychelles, a small group of islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa, where it had been abandoned by its owner two years before. She crowdfunded the money to repurchase the wreck in 2016, and took another year to restore it at Southampton, where she and her crew had rebuilt it the first time in 1989. As of 2019, it is on a three-year world tour to raise money and awareness for girls' access to education in poorer nations. Her project is called "The Maiden Factor."

Tracy Edwards: We were a real mixed bag of mostly dropouts, misfits and gypsies and nomads. We were all running away from something, but we were family units... I mean surreal family units.
