When Dutch 12-year-old Laura Dekker announced her intent to sail around the world alone, outraged authorities sought to stop her. She won a long court battle for her emancipation and set out on her 16-month odyssey. Her own video and audio recordings, from ports of call from the Galapagos Islands to Australia to South Africa, form the basis of this documentary portrait of an extraordinary young woman. 82 min. Soundtrack: English and Dutch; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurettes; deleted scenes; photo gallery. In English and Dutch with English subtitles.
