Um þessa kvikmynd

This riveting documentary chronicles the life and adventures of 14-year-old Laura Dekker, who set out on a two-year voyage in pursuit of her dream to be the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone. In the wake of a year-long battle with Dutch authorities that sparked a global storm of media scrutiny, Laura found herself far from land and family, with unwanted attention, exploring the world in search of freedom, adventure, and distant dreams of her early youth at sea. "Maidentrip" amplifies Laura's brave, defiant voice through a mix of Laura's own video and recordings at sea and intimate verite footage from locations including the Galapagos Islands, French Polynesia, Australia, and South Africa.

You can't help but feel every emotion and change this phenomenal young woman goes through. This film is amazing and speaks volumes about the best parts of the human spirit; to challenge ourselves to really achieve something and live.

Heck of an accomplishment by a young person that is mature beyond her years in some ways, and clearly still a young teenager in attitude in others. An enjoyable movie worth watching if you're a sailor, or ever thought you'd like to sail.

Amazing film. Inspiring really makes me want to sail the world. It is deeper than just an adventure, but its not just an adventure, its really a creative piece it was really well done. I highly recommend it!
