An Unlikely Hero
An Unthinkable Journey
An Incredible Deception

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent sixties, Deep Water is the thoroughly absorbing - and true - journey of Donald Crowhurst, a 36-year old father of four, free-thinking electronics inventor and Sunday sailor, and his part in the very first solo, non-stop, round-the-world nautical race.

Described as one ofg the last century's most extraordinary stories on the high seas, this inaugural race was dubbed "The Everest of the Seas" and sparked world-wide media attention.

From the producers of Touching The Void, Deep Water incorporates archival film, news clips, original 16mm footage and tape recordings made by the racing sailors to deliver a fascinating portrait of Dan Crowhurst's ill-fated voyage.
