On the face of it, it's a bit similar to last year's "Nyad", only I found this to be a more engaging depiction of the story of a young woman determined to struggle against not just the water, but of the societal limitations put upon her sex and assumed about her potential a mere century ago.

The movie follows the inspiring story of a female swimmer who achieves the remarkable feat of becoming the first woman to swim across the English Channel. It is a well-crafted film that delves into historical events with great attention to detail. Even my 14-year-old son, who typically isn't drawn to historical films, found himself captivated by the narrative. The film is …
