We followed the Volvo Ocean Race closely as it unfolded earlier in the year, finding plenty of drama, excitement, and agony in the round-the-world sailing competition. If you followed along too, you probably are aware of just how epic this event is, testing competitors at every turn for weeks on end. Now, we get an amazing official documentary that takes us inside the race to get a sense of how it unfolded and the physical and mental toll it takes on the sailors. This is a grand adventure on the high seas that is unlike anything else. Check out the film below to see why it is such a grueling event.
