Deep Water
Directed by: Louise Osmond and Jerry Rothwell
In 1968 nine men set out to sail single handed and nonstop around the world. Only one, Robin Knox-Johston finishes the race. Deep Water, chronicles the story of one competitor, Bernard Crowhurst. Short on skills, time, and resources Crowhurst sets out unprepared for the journey. He soon recognizes that he faces financial ruin if he does not complete the race and certain death if he continues. This documentary uses original 16mm footage, interviews with fellow competitors and family, and entries from his log to explore his experience and tragedy at sea.
Artistically and tastefully done, Deep Water, is a compelling story of one man's ambition and the lure of the sea.
