Congrats to this Amazing guy!

Bykimberlyravon August 29, 2016

I dont think this amazing guy with ADHD expected that he would do so well and be so warmly welcomed and congratulated by so many people for his accomplishment in sailing around the Americas and in the smallest boat ever too!
Really shows you with determination and a WILL you can do what you set your mind to, even if you fall backwards, you get back up and push ahead again and again and again....

NOT a sailing documentary

ByBobon July 14, 2016

I thought this was going to be about him sailing. It was really just about him as a person. Hey, I even have some of the same "disabilities" and upbringing issues (tourettes, adhd, etc...) that he had (which is what most of this movie is about), but even I thought it was kind of boring. I mean, the movie is being sold as this guy sailing, but the actual sailing information and/or filming is nearly non existent. They mention it a little bit at first, but they spent like, 5 minutes on his entire trip around South America. Really quite sad seeing as they are selling this as a sailing adventure and rarely mention sailing at all. This movie is about him as a person, NOT his sailing voyage.. which is very unfortunate. I expected much more from this documentary.

I love sailing so I scoop up any sailing features I can find. However, it was tedious hearing his parents go on about how unique he was etc. I didn't even finish it.

Watched this film after watching the Barefoot Across the Atlantic.

Didn't like this one for it is more of the story about Matt rather than sailing.

hoping it would get better. It does not

I watched about half of it, hoping it would get better. It does not. It's not really a documentary, nor a movie, but a filmed story about a guy with ADHD that wants to go around the Americas without setting anchor. Not a sailing story.
