A period of no wind occurs and Jessica's boat remains stationary for a week. During this time, she suffers from depression and loneliness. She has a heated argument with Ben and cruelly reminds him that, while competing in the New Zealand Millennium Cup, one of his crew members died under his command. He angrily quits the project in response. Jessica's mother encourages her frustrated daughter to lift her spirits by singing David Bowie's "Starman" while looking at the brightest star in the sky.
Netflix, per its policy of releasing some of its larger titles for a limited cinematic run, released the film in select theatres on 26 January 2023 in Australia, and made it available globally for streaming on 3 February.[8]
Watson's family was criticized in the media and by government officials for being irresponsible, and some at the time worried that Watson lacked a full understanding of all the risks involved in the trip and wasn't mature or responsible enough to undertake it (she collided with a bulk carrier during a test run from Sidney to Brisbane and was found to have been asleep at the time). Nevertheless, she persisted, sailing around the world, surviving multiple storms and a long period of windless stasis. She was recognized with multiple citations and medals and became an emblem of the can-do spirit, particularly for girls and young women who love sailing but felt excluded from it by sexism.
Watson's memoir and the 2010 documentary about her achievement, "210 Days," are altogether more thorough and nuanced looks at this story, though of course that's nearly always true of documentaries that tell the same story as works of fiction. Dramatic features tend to have goal-directed stories with uncomplicated happy endings. The messiness of life gets sanded off in the name of giving the people what they supposedly want.
It would be hard not to give a stamp of approval to this uplifting, family-friendly biopic based on the inspirational real-life journey of an Australian teen, despite a few overly formulaic aspects. Sure, True Spirit could have found a more original way to convey Jessica's lifelong motivation to sail around the world than (cute) childhood flashbacks. The narrative arc of the cynic-turned-cheerleader journalist doesn't feel essential or genuine either. But these slightly cloying elements don't diminish the true story of Watson, whom Croft embodies with a combination of steadfastness and vulnerability.
In the movie, Jessica hits an emotional low point when there's no breeze for an entire week. She gets frustrated and ends up arguing with Ben over the radio. That was all fictionalized for the film but was based on real emotions Watson felt throughout her trip. "In reality, you never get such long stretches without wind," she says. "Often, it's more like a couple of days. And even within that, you might get a few puffs along the way. It is, however, very true to what that experience is like for a sailor, how incredibly frustrating it is to just be at the mercy of the elements and just waiting for the wind to come back. There's nothing you can do. Emotionally, they were some of the really tough days out there."
I'm afraid to admit that this Netflix flick crashed through my defenses and eventually - eventually - won me over. It's a bit manipulative (call it drama, call it suspense) but it's such a winning, good-natured film that I have to admit that I put that skepticism behind me and just went with the ol' triumph of the human spirit thing.
The film is the true story about how a teenage Australian girl became the youngest person to solo circumnavigate the globe in her smallish sailboat back in 2010. She weathers (pun intended) storms and glassy seas to make it back alive... though I started to have my doubts at points.
Titans star Teagan Croft stars as Jessica Watson in the upcoming biopic True Spirit. Coming to Netflix in February 2023, we have everything you need to know about True Spirit, including the plot, cast, trailer, first look photos, and the Netflix release date.
In 2010, Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. At just 16 years of age, this incredible feat of strength, resilience, and courage earned her the title of a true Australian icon.
Yes to all of the above, but never mind. The indomitable spirit will out, and all that. With the help of sea-faring volunteers who help fix up her little boat and some inspirational pop music, Watson prepares to sail around the world.
To formulate his spirit, Pitts first had to ensure there were no impurities in the water. Next up was the filtering process. He determined the best taste came from filtering the product through coconut shell charcoal.

Netflix has apparently decided to double down on movies about girls who must navigate stormy seas. A few months ago, I reviewed "The Swimmers," based on the true story of sisters who swam a raft of refugees through a storm to reach Greece.
And today Netflix released "True Spirit," also a film based on a true story. This one follows an Aussie girl named Jessica Watson (Teagan Croft) who, at 16, attempted to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe without stops or any assistance. Turns out the real Watson sailed around the world unassisted on her journey, but through some technical rigmarole, didn't meet the exact definition of circumnavigation.
There is some representation of women in True Spirit (2023), as Jessica is a young 16-year-old girl who plays the main role. Director Sarah Spillane advocates in action for increasing diversity behind the camera as well, showing the story with nuance. However, most of the cast members are white, which can feel like a baby step toward diversity.
I enjoyed every moment of this movie. In this world where edgier and darker movies and villains seen as heroes are flooding the media, I've been starving for a good, bright, inspirational story. I cannot believe that this sixteen year old girl completed the trip by herself on a sailboat. I thought her story was beautifully told and the visuals were stunning. Loved this film. A true breath of fresh air.I enjoyed the cinematography, casting was great, I loved how they incorporated the music, the color saturation in the scene with calm waters that creates the feeling of pressure and nerves amidst the beauty of the surroundings, the starry sky scene, the CG waves,... Finally the way they showed the real Jessica Watson at the very end.Loved it!
I watched this as I am a sailor and I was curious to see where her story fit in with Abby Sunderland, who tried the same feat at teh same age but failed after a storm in the southern ocean.As some have said I also think the film was made in a Disney style to highlight the spirit of exploration, adventure and courage. It does it splendidly and is a joy to watch for that reason.As a record of Watson's achievement though I think it falls short. The things she went through including being becalmed for a full week would have been horrifying. And the storm scenes almost romanticise storms rather than showing the real turmoil that Watson went through.It showed nothing of the struggle she would have faced sailing the boat although does touch on her loneliness. I think as a record of her adventure it was below par.I haven't read her memoir but I believe I will now to get the first hand real account, not the sanitised version from a director.
True spirit was one of those movies that made me feel something. It was not just another movie that you forget and it was well made. The movie is about the real life journey of a sixteen year old called jessica watson. She grew up reading a book that inspired her and so she wanted to travel around the world solo. Jessica is played in this movie by teagan croft. She plays the role and emotions well. I loved the set for the boat and the way that the movie was filmed invites you to be part of the action. Helping her is ben, a friend from childhood thats a professional himself and played here by cliff curtis. The cast of this movie were all pretty good and overall it was just a really nice movie that was translated well to film.
This unevenness keeps the True Spirit from rising above an inevitably conventional and predictable plot. The movie stays largely true to the actual events and drama experienced by Watson during her journey. 041b061a72
