Based on the true story of a tormented sailor’s heartbreaking voyage – CROWHURST, directed by BIFA-nominated British director Simon Rumley, sails onto DVD, Digital Download and VOD on 16 JULY 2018 – available to pre-order now: http://po.st/CrowhurstHE. In October 1968, Donald Crowhurst (Justin Salinger, Everest, Doctor Who, Humans), a 35-year-old engineer and father of four, embarked on one of the last great adventures of the 20th Century. He was one of nine men who set out from the English coast that autumn as part of the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, chasing to be either the first or the fastest man to circumnavigate the globe single-handed and non-stop. But for Donald the dream turned into a nightmare. Tragic, heartbreaking and enthralling, CROWHURST is a tribute to a brave man who was too proud to fail and too much alone to live. CROWHURST is Executive Produced by filming legend Nicolas Roeg and features sequences shot in Crowhurst’s actual house. “Very powerful. It has a lot of heart that strikes you with a shiver. Definitely not to be missed” MARIANNE GREY, MOVIES1.NET Certificate: 12 Running Time: 99 mins approx. facebook.com/StudiocanalUK @studiocanaluk @StudiocanalUK
