Netflix’s latest offering is inspired by the true story of Jessica Watson, an Australian teenager who became the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop around the world without assistance. The film documents her journey towards this incredible feat as well as her family’s support throughout it all.

Teagan Croft, star of DC TV series Titans, stars as Jessica in this biographical drama directed by Sarah Spillane (Around the Block) with Cathy Randall and Rebecca Banner writing the screenplay. Teagan Croft portrays Jessica with an intensity and vulnerability that allow audiences to follow along on her journey as an aspirant sailor.

The film provides a gripping testament of what it means to rise above adversity and push past limitations that limit us. It also takes an insightful look at parenting responsibilities, particularly for parents raising a child.

This movie may not be suitable for everyone, but it offers an inspiring tale that will leave you with a deep sense of awe and respect.

This movie follows a teenage girl as she strives to sail the world alone and overcomes any obstacles in order to achieve her goal. For anyone who appreciates an engaging story with an impressive cast, this should be a must-watch.

At the beginning of the film, Jessica presents her father Roger and mother Julie with a proposal for her dream. At first they are skeptical about it, but Jessica convinces them that she can make it work no matter what obstacles stand in her way.

After she enlists the aid of former sailing champion Ben Bryant, she embarks on a solo voyage that will take her 210 days to complete. The film documents the difficulties she will have to conquer while navigating some of the world’s most treacherous ocean passages.

The filmmakers do a wonderful job of giving the film a Disney feel, with adorable animation and cheerful colors throughout. Any obstacles are minimized to footnotes while characters receive songs that bring them joy and lift their spirits.

Unfortunately, this movie often tries to be too kind. It aims to be the ideal family film with Hallmark moments and distant relatives weeping in the distance; however, in reality this could have been much better.

Despite its shortcomings, the film still showcases impressive talent and provides a captivating depiction of an adventure many will never get to experience in real life.

In a world where many are struggling to find meaning and direction in life, watching an inspirational film about someone who had a dream and persevered until it came true is truly inspiring. It requires tremendous grit to achieve this feat – something not everyone is gifted with.

Jessica Watson’s story is one of the most inspiring I’ve ever heard, and True Spirit is an ideal movie to celebrate it. It will surely melt even the toughest hearts. Truly a must-watch on Netflix – I hope you won’t hesitate to check it out!
