Who would expect a documentary about the first all woman crew competing in a yacht race to be so moving and poetic? It could have been an earnest piece but no, it was beautiful, emotional and exciting. You couldn't take your eyes off the massive rolling waves and the and how small the women in the great ocean, and how dogged they were to finish their race. Each change in mood was so well placed, often unexpected and surprising and the journey took you all the way from start to finish.
