Deep Water

AN APT FILMS PRODUCTION

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.
