If you're intrigued by Donald Crowhurst’s story and his disastrous participation in the 1968 Golden Globe round-the-world sailing competition, this documentary is essential viewing. The film portrays how a series of unfortunate events led him to make hasty choices, culminating in a final reckoning with himself. It incorporates interviews from his family members, people involved in the race, and original video and audio recordings of Mr. Crowhurst prior to and throughout his dangerous trip into the South Atlantic and further afield. I had the opportunity to travel to Rio Salado in Argentina a few years back and converse with some members of the coast guard; one officer who encountered him is still alive. This is the kind of documentary that will captivate you and linger in your thoughts long after it’s over, due to its powerful effect.
