Middle Aged Lady Movie Night - Maiden

This one only played a couple of times at our 2019 international film festival.  I then missed it on its reshowing at the arthouse cinema, so was pleased to find it as a 99c special on itunes a couple of weeks ago.  So now was the time to sit down and watch it.   Especially thinking that it is unlikely that there will be a festival this year.

Maiden is the story of Tracy Edwards and her mission to have an all womens team sailing in the Whitbread around the world sailing race in 1989.  You think a film about sailing would be boring, but there is tension and action and I found it an interesting watch to see the type of sexism that women faced 30 years ago, and still face in the sports world which is dominated by men, who still do not consider women as equals.  4/5
