Storyline:
Trudy Ederle, a 19-year-old New Yorker and daughter of German immigrants, is the subject of this biography. In August 1926, she achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Prior to her, only five men had successfully completed the challenging 21-mile journey from Cape Gris-Nez France to Kingsdown Beach in England. While this may not initially seem daunting, the presence of unpredictable tides, freezing water, relentless currents, and swarms of jellyfish made it clear that this was no ordinary test of endurance. Despite these obstacles, Trudy swam a total of 35 miles that day, surpassing the men’s times by nearly two hours. She faced not only the physical challenges, but also the pervasive sexism that surrounded her. Watch this amazing biography in HD print on HuraWatch.
