Maidentrip (2014)

Laura Dekker had to fight for the right to be the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone. Once she won that right, she set off from her Holland home with the goal of returning within two years.

I’m not interested in boating and I’m not much of an outdoorsy girl at all, but this was fascinating. It’s all shot by Laura herself and it’s crazy just how young she is: 14 when she sets out and 16 when she returns. She’s capable and self-possessed and really knows who she is. Impressive in every respect.
