See more 11/09/2014 This is an inspiring, exciting movie which combines both dramatic footage of the amazing journey of Matt Rutherford around the Americas with narrative about his personal struggles as a youth overcoming many challenges. As someone who has done some sailing as well as working with troubled youth for many years, this movie struck a chord with me. Anyone who doubts the strength of the human spirit to overcome adversity should see this movie - you leave with a tremendous boost of positive energy!

Told with humor and frankness, this is an amazing story and a must-see. See more 11/01/2014 A remarkable account of a great adventure at sea. Matthew Rutherford is a genuine and fearless sailor. The documentary is beautiful, interesting, and well done. Well worth watching by young and old who love the sea or need inspiration to move forward courageously no matter the odds. See more 10/30/2014 This is a remarkable film, one of the best sailing documentaries ever produced. The story of Matt Rutherford's epic solo journey around the continents of North and South America chronicles one of the most amazing voyages ever recorded. What makes this story so engrossing, though, is that the sailing part is only half the tale, and arguably not even the most unlikely part. Matt's childhood was a nightmare, a brutal combination of drugs, cults, depression, learning disabilities and, ultimately, prison. And his difficult, winding path from troubled kid to bold adventurer and record-setting sailor is truly an inspirational tale that this terrific documentary captures well. Highly recommended...
