Sobre este filme

In 1989, the Whitbread Around the World Race was considered to be the most dangerous sailing competition on earth. When 26-year-old Tracy Edwards wanted to participate, she was met with resistance and sexism - no team would take her. Left with no other choice, she started an all-female crew, one who would not only take on the vast and foreboding ocean, but also the doubts and attacks from her male competitors and press. In this incredible true story, watch Edwards and her crew attempt to turn the impossible into reality as they take on fifty-foot waves, icebergs and all of the dangers of the great and powerful sea. MAIDEN is a stunning, emotional film that is “a cause for celebration”! (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)

The movie ends abruptly and is flawed by its lack of follow through. What happened to the individual sailors? How did their voyage affect women's racing? What were some of the breakthroughs that resulted from their accomplishments?

An exciting adventure filled with passion, determination and a raw view into one's innerself. Love the creation of a true team comradarie. Truly yanked at my heart strings.

A story that needed to be told. Like thousands of other story's of heroic women that have been kept under wraps and continue to be kept under wraps so that Men's ego's are not bruised. Oppression only hold back humanity. When will we learn that Men and Women have more in common than we do different? Heart, will ,desire, determination etc. It's a shame that it took 30 years to tell. Proud just the same. Congratulations & Thank you! :)
