In 1968, Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor, endangers the fate of his family and business, and his own life, blinded by his ambition to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, attempting to become the first person in history to single-handedly circumnavigate the world without making any stopover.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting true story of an ordinary man consumed by the dream of impossible glory, watching him spiral as the gap between his ambitions and his capabilities widens irreversibly. The film captures the terrible intimacy of self-delusion and the human cost of chasing a singular, all-consuming goal.
