In a moving portrait of resilience, Alex Holmes chronicles the unprecedented journey of 24-year-old Tracy Edwards and the first all-female sailing crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race.

Documentary of their extraordinary adventure on a round-the-world yacht race and the disastrous capsize that nearly claimed their lives. The most famous Maxi class racing yacht of her generation, was the vision of pop star Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, who fulfilled a dream when he took up the challenge of sailing the 1985 Whitbread Round The World Race. Following her dramatic capsize in the 1985 Fastnet race after losing her keel, DRUM went on to finish a credible third overall.
