Join Rochester Women's Network for a screening of True Spirit, a Netflix biographical drama about Australian teenager Jessica Watson, who became the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around the world at age 16.
Directed by Sarah Spillane, the film follows her perilous 210-day journey, showcasing her determination, the challenges of isolation and storms, and the public debate over her parents' decision to support her quest. Starring Teagan Croft as Jessica, it's based on Watson's memoir and highlights her overcoming dyslexia and media scrutiny to achieve her dream.
