The Mercy (2018)

Immerse yourself in the unforgettable saga of Donald Crowhurst, an audacious amateur sailor who dared to challenge the impossible in the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race. Aspiring to etch his name in history, Crowhurst embarked on a perilous quest to become the first person to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe without pause. Propelled by ambition and a seemingly insurmountable desire, Crowhurst risked everything - his unfinished boat, the Teignmouth Electron, his business, his house, and the peace of his loving family. Leaving behind his wife, Clare, and their children, he ventured into the vastness of the unknown sea, hesitantly setting sail on an epic journey fraught with uncertainty. The Mercy vividly chronicles Crowhurst's solitary voyage, a battle against the elements, his own fears, and the unending expanse of the ocean. As he grappled with the trials of the journey, back home, his family endured their own struggle, an agonizing wait for his return. Simultaneously inspiring and heartrending, The Mercy paints a compelling portrait of human tenacity, revealing one of the most enduring enigmas of our time. The haunting tale of Donald Crowhurst's daring solo expedition is a testament to the infinite depths of human courage and the unfathomable mysteries of the sea.
