ALONE
AGAINST THE SEA
captures the human drama of five solo sailors as they battle hurricane force
winds, equipment failures, lack of sleep and medical emergencies while
struggling to circumnavigate the globe.
ISABELLE AUTISSIER survives a deadly 360
degree roll which destroys her once sleek racing yacht. Finally, after five long
days, she is rescued by the Australian Navy. Russian sailor VIKTOR YAZIKOV
performs surgery on his elbow while his boat sails for 22 hours without a
helmsman.
JEAN LUC VAN DEN HEEDE succumbs to overwhelming exhaustion, falls asleep and
suddenly finds himself aground on the beach. GIOVANNI SOLDINI, in a surprising
twist, must rescue his friend and fellow competitor, Isabelle Autissier, after
she capsizes deep in the southern ocean. Seventy-year-old British skipper, HARRY
MITCHELL, caught in a violent storm as he approaches Cape Horn, is lost at sea.
This film is a fascinating exploration of the obsession that drives sailors to
undertake such daunting journeys.
