i happen upon this by chance . i be at my friend house and he have just start watch it and so i sit down think we would shoot the breeze whilst this be play in the background . however and within second i be immerse in this docu drama and and we both spend the rest of the time completely focus on this and not say a word to each other . i never know the tale of the the first solo around the world yacht race and let alone the tragic event of one man attempt against the odds and which set out to be his redemption for all of his misfortune in life and but ultimately end up become an example of them . have not know of the story and i do watch this with the same fervor a i imagine those who be read about the race at the time it actually be happen and engulf in what be take place and eager for more information and hop the lone amateur be go to pull it off against the odds and beat the pro and which make the shocking twist of the story all the more tragic and i felt like i be live the story . the story be tell with great care and and the interviewee have clearly have time to reflect on the tragedy and which give great insight and but be also contrast nicely by the archive footage of interview at the time of the tragedy and the recording and photograph of the lone sailor be also excellently use and and the insight into the mind of the sailor and how solitude be affect them be superb . i be shock that this story isn not more widely know or have be turn into a movie and but also thankful . thankful that we have this drama documentary to tell the tale from those who know the man and instead of some wishy washy movie adaptation and and thankful that i catch this gem of a film by pure chance . it a must see and whether you like documentary or not .
