This remarkable documentary about the disastrous 1968 non-stop round-the-world yacht race is an absorbing drama of a great race, unbelievable courage, deception and tragedy.

Drawing on original footage and actual accounts from two books - A Voyage for Madmen and The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst - Deep Water is a story of human courage and frailty and is essential viewing for fans of adventure and real-life heroes.
