The Mercy

Published on February 16th, 2018

Thanks to our friends at Studio Canal we have five in-season double passes to give away to The Mercy. This incredible true story which captivated the world about amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst,  an ordinary man, a dreamer and ambitious, who set about to win the first non-stop single-handed round-the-world yacht race in 1968 will release in cinemas on March 8.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Academy Award® winner James Marsh (The Theory of Everything) directs the incredible true story of Crowhurst (Colin Firth, The King’s SpeechThe Railway Man) and his attempt to win the first non-stop single-handed round-the-world yacht race in 1968. The story of Crowhurst’s dangerous solo voyage and the struggles he confronted on the epic journey while his wife, Clare (Rachel Weisz, The Light between Oceans, Youth), and children waited for his return is one of the most enduring mysteries of recent times.
