Alone
(Feature Documentary) In Development Funding Screen Australia
A divorced massage therapist with no athletic background crosses the Atlantic Ocean solo in a rowboat, learning that being alone and being lonely are sometimes worlds apart.
Michelle Lee left two failed relationships a job and all her fear to cross the Atlantic solo in a rowboat. Over 68 days, she faces the most terrifying threats imaginable, both physical and mental. Through squally seas, keening tears and the stalking menace of illness, her determination wavers. As she proves her worth to mother nature, a bond is formed that sets her course. Reaching land at last in unfamiliar territory, Michelle finds the power of striking out alone, and learns the greatest partner for the solo travellers is the one that’s found within.
