NYAD

“Witness the incredible true story.”

At sixty, Diana Nyad (Annette Bening) decides to swim from Cuba to Florida, more than a hundred miles of open ocean she has dreamed of crossing her whole life. Her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (Jodie Foster) gets her into the water, and a small crew builds around the two of them. Directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin treat the swim as a matter of endurance, and what it asks of Diana is whether it is ever too late to try.
