Deep Water released on DVD
April 17th, 2007 by Zsofia
The highly acclaimed British feature documentary “Deep Water” is now available on DVD. Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s, the documentary is the true story of Donald Crowhurst, a free-thinking electronics inventor who enters the first solo non-stop, round-the-world yacht race.
Crowhurst entered the race in the hope of winning a cash prize from the Sunday Times to aid his failing business. However, early on in the voyage he encountered difficulties and secretly abandoned the race while reporting false positions. The British media celebrated him as the likely winner of the race, but the grim reality was that he gradually went insane and eventually committed suicide.
The film has been produced by the London-based APT films, and distributed in cinemas by Pathe. Check out the film’s trailer here.
