this be an account of event that have be cover in print several time and and i have read two book a voyage for madman and the strange last voyage of donald crowhurst before see the film in sheffield just before christmas . i must say and it exceed all expectation in it telling of the 1968 sunday time golden globe yacht race . these men set out to do something that have never be do before with no support vessel and wooden boat and no satellite phone and no gps and and just their wit and skill to get them round the globe in one piece . not to mention the month of solitude and the thundering southern ocean and little sleep and and boat that be often literally fall apart around them . this documentary be excellently put together in my opinion and tightly edit and well pace with superb narration . the archive footage and the interview be fascinate and bring the story to life . clare crowhurst interview footage be especially revealing and move a she relate the event that lead up to her husband and donald crowhurst departure from teignmouth and the doubt and fear in his mind and her reaction a subsequent event unfolded . i be move and have even shed a tear or two by the time the credit start roll and and overheard other people express similar feeling . the two book i mention above be useful for more detail and back story which couldn not have be fit into the 90 minute and i would recommend those too . this be ultimately a true story of human courage and human frailty . a must see for anyone interested in sail and adventure and human endeavour and real life hero .
