Just saw the movie, “Maiden” and I totally agree with a reviewer who described it as “a documentary with all the nervous-making energy of a first-rate drama.”
This story of the first ever all-female crew to compete (in 1989) in an around the world, nine-month yacht race is gripping, inspirational, and filled with “take away” moments. These women — especially Tracy Edwards: whose dream it was, who put the team together, and who mortgaged her home in order to finance that dream — personify courage, persistence, resiliency, and relentless determination.
I would love to watch it with each of my close woman friends. It’s the kind of uplifting experience that you naturally want to share.
