When Jessica Watson sets out to be the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world, she must overcome her greatest fear as she navigates the world鈥檚 most challenging stretches of ocean. Based on a true story.

At just 16, Jessica Watson, a schoolgirl from Queensland, spent 210 days at sea, braving six-meter swells. Upon her arrival at Sydney Harbour, she was greeted by thousands of supporters, including a six-year-old Teagan Croft, who would later portray her in Netflix's new film debuting on February 3rd.
