Maiden

AroView: Riveting documentary about the all-female crew of the Maiden, who won the 1989-1990 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race against all odds, upsetting the male-centric sports industry with their dramatic victory. Skippered by 24 year-old Tracy Edwards, whose ascent from being a cook with male-led crews to leading her own crew of 12 after buying the Maiden provides the emotional centerpiece of this exhilarating story.

“Maiden simultaneously functions as a timeless ode to passion and a reflective account of a fascinating highpoint in the history of women’s involvement in the sports industry.” ~Jonathan Christian, THE PLAYLIST
