在今年早些时候的多伦多国际电影节上，《Maiden》以其充满力量和毅力的非凡故事让观众们感到兴奋。通过大量的档案录像和深入的个人采访，这个令人叹为观止的纪录片组成了一个充满悬念、辛酸和振奋的旅程，表明了人类精神的持久顽强。　　在20世纪80年代后期，英国业余水手特蕾西·爱德华兹认定，她已经受够了被解雇的煎熬，并被贬低为她所参加的航海队中唯一的女性。特蕾西将目光投向即将到来的惠特贝克环球赛事，这是一次令人震惊的4万海里的环球航行，几乎没有船敢阻拦。特蕾西召集了世界上第一批国际全女帆船队并参加了比赛。由于她们不仅经受住了危及生命的公海，而且经受住了媒体中性别歧视的风暴，这群鼓舞人心的妇女不得不依靠她们自己和彼此的纯弹性来证明反对者和怀疑者是错误的。然而，他们没有完全预料到的是，他们的远征将如何不仅仅意味着一场到达终点线的比赛。
