The Mercy, GFT
9 – 15 February, w018
Based on a remarkable true story, The Mercy centres on amateur yachtsman and failing inventor Donald Crowhurst (Colin Firth). In 1968 Crowhurst entered the Golden Globe round the world race, in a boat of his own design. He wagered everything upon success, including his family’s security and his reputation. What happened next is an incredible story of a man alone at sea, battling the elements and his own demons. Director James Marsh (Man on Wire, The Theory of Everything) has crafted an intense and moving film, featuring superb performances and a savage beauty.
