The story of Tracy Edwards, the woman who became a skipper on the first ever all=female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.

Four brave women set out to row across the Pacific Ocean from America to Australia. Everyone has a Pacific to cross.
This film with Reese Witherspoon tells the story of Cheryl Strayed as she hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Coast Trail alone with absolutely no experience, driven by sheer determination. A powerful movie to watch this International Women’s Day.
