Review of Maiden (2019) by Bhbarry — 06 Jul 2019

"Maiden" is a documentary directed by Alex Holmes which tells the story.

Of Tracy Edwards, a 24 year old sailing vessel cook who, in 1989, together with.

Her female companions, skippered the first all female crew to compete in the.

Whitbread Sail Around the World contest. More than the story of a sailing.

Contest, it is a testament to the tenacity and vision of this young girl who, despite.

The chauvenism of the sailing community, achieved her goal and realized.

Her dream. This is film that every young woman should see and appreciate.

For it demonstrates that dreams can become reality in spite of the prejudices.

Of a male dominated society and the obstacles in general that every dreamer.

Must inevitably encounter. Although the film could just as well have been.

Exhibited in a much shorter version, the viewer nevertheless experiences and.

Understands what these adventurous ladies had to encounter and how meaningful.

What they accomplished meant to all womanhood far and beyond.

The contest they participated in. I give the film an 8 for it is as inspirational.

As it is entertaining.
