Maiden is the story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook in charter boats, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World in 1989. Tracy’s inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a secondhand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. Although blessed with tremendous self-belief Tracy was also beset by crippling doubts and was only able to make it through with the support of her remarkable crew. With their help she went on to shock the sport world and prove that women are very much the equal of men.

Director: Robert Bresson; Romantic Comedy / Drama, No Rating, France; French,1971 ,87 min.
One of the least known Bresson films a French romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Bresson. A loose adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short story “White Nights,” the film tells the story of a down-on-his-luck artist who attempts to prevent a heartbroken woman from committing suicide by spending four consecutive evenings with her on the streets of Paris.
Despite (or perhaps because of) its unusually light tone for a late-style Bresson film, it has been described as one of Bresson’s most underrated films.
