The Mercy

“The Mercy,” directed by James Marsh, is a biographical drama that chronicles the true story of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst and his ill-fated attempt to complete the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a solo, non-stop, round-the-world yacht race. As Crowhurst faces the immense challenges of the sea and his own personal struggles, the film explores themes of ambition, isolation, and the human spirit.
