    • Trivia
      Jessica Watson was allowed to keep the replica of her boat used for filming after production had completed.
    • Goofs
      In the movie in rough weather Jessica is seen strapped to the bunk . Yachts do not use this system, they all use lee cloths . Which you see on the real boat at the end of the movie with real footage from the boat . Hint its red.
    • Quotes

      Jessica Watson: There's strength in being yourself. You know, I think... that's as hard as climbing any mountain. You know, I think there's bravery in admitting that you're not okay.

    Surprinsingly wonderful
    A tenacious Australian teen chases her dreams - and faces her fears - as she sets out to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

    I saw this movie on Top 10 Netflix movies and i decided to give it a try. But it didn't hook me immediately

    Initially i thought it was gonna be some cheesy feel good girl movie. And it was, but it was one of the best ones in recent years

    The story needs some time to find it's footing but it's worth it. A bold, serious, gut wreching movie with great visuals and an emotion roller coaster. If you have older kids this is one of the best choices. Educational but also emotional and inspiring.
