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 muchballyhooed
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 man’s
heart of darkness.
