Young Woman and the Sea is the extraordinary true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel distributed by Disney.
Young Woman and the Sea focuses on an 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.
Young Woman and the Sea stars Daisy Ridley, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, Glenn Fleshler, and more. Joachim Rønning is the director of the film alongside Jeff Nathanson who wrote the film based on the book “Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World” by Glenn Stout. Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, and Jeff Nathanson serve as producers alongside John G. Scotti, Daisy Ridley, and Joachim Rønning serving as executive producers.
Young Woman and the Sea will begin streaming on Disney+ on July 19.
