Deep Water
AN APT FILMS PRODUCTION Winner Best Documentary Film, Rome International Film Festival, 2006 "by turns a gripping, ripping yarn and an irresistible journey into the heart of darkness, an illuminating film about the treachery of dreams..." "A movie which will reduce the hardest of hearts to a shipwreck" "Poignant, powerful and profoundly moving" "Compassionate, tragic, troubling; this extraordinary documentary recounts one of the sailing community's legendary stories." "..To watch this documentary is to invest exhaustively in its compelling cast of characters. One can be lost at sea for days after..." Watch the Deep Water trailer now
In 1968 nine men competed to be the first person to sail alone and non-stop around the world. As the single handers wrestled their boats through the mountainous seas of the Southern Ocean, Donald Crowhurst, an electronics engineer and week-end sailor became a unlikely hero when it appeared that his revolutionary boat was going to carry him home in record-breaking speed. Two weeks later his abandoned boat is found floating in the middle of the Atlantic.
Deep Water is directed by Louise Osmond & Jerry Rothwell with finance from Pathe, who distributed the film theatrically in the UK, UK Film Council and Film Four.
Deep Water is now available on DVD to buy or rent. To buy or rent online visit Amazon.

Wondrous Oblivion: "Once again a modest British feature is one of the week's high points... a lovingly crafted tale deftly mixing social history, personal drama and warm-hearted nostalgia... thoughtful, sensitively handled and expertly acted ... a poignant family film that brings the past vividly alive."
