Right up the alley of anyone who likes knowing it really happened and people who love a true story told well. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Sits nicely alongside The Dawn Wall or Man on Wire.

What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Fifteen young sailors... six months of intense training... one chance at the brass ring. This documentary tells the story of a group of intrepid and determined young men and women, on the cusp of adulthood, as they embark on life's first great adventure. Racing a high-performance 52-foot sloop the crew of "Morning Light" matches wits and skills in a dramatic 2300 mile showdown.
