Deep Water

Tilda Swinton narrates this suspense-building, heartrending, 92-minute, 2006 documentary that consists of archival photographs and film footage, commentary by journalists and television reporters, and interviews with family members to recount the valiant and tragic attempt of the daring English engineer Donald Crowhurst, a weekend sailor, to sail around the world alone when he left his wife and four children on Oct. 31, 1968, and entered a harrowing and grueling 33,000-mile yacht race to compete with eight other men for a 5,000-pound prize.
