True Spirit

Nobody around Jessica Watson (Teagan Croft) believes a 16-year-old can sail alone around the world, nonstop and unassisted, and she sets out anyway. Her coach Ben Bryant (Cliff Curtis) and her parents back her, knowing the route covers some of the harshest stretches of ocean and will take 210 days. Sarah Spillane adapts Watson's own memoir and keeps the story moving at the pace of the voyage itself.
