Young Woman and the Sea

Daisy Ridley stars as the accomplished swimmer who was born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905.

Through the steadfast support of her older sister and supportive trainers, she overcame adversity and the animosity of a patriarchal society to rise through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team and complete the staggering achievement — a 21-mile trek from France to England.

Buoyed by Daisy Ridley’s radiant star power and the remarkable trajectory of Gertrude Ederle’s life story, Young Woman and the Sea is an old-fashioned sports movie that harkens back to the classics in the best way.
