Nyad
In the 1970’s, Diana Nyad became a renown competitive long distance swimmer. When she her failed her Cuba-to-Florida marathon event, she swore that would be her last attempt & retired to become a sports journalist. Then three decades later at the age of 60, Nyad (Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with that 110-mile swim that she could not complete. Determined to become the first person to finish that swim without a shark cage, she goes on a thrilling 4-year demanding journey with her best friend/coach Bonnie Stoll (Jodie Foster) & a dedicated support boat team. This is an amazing true story about one’s dedication & focus on a dream and the many wonderful skilled helpers who banded together to see that dream come true. Bening & Foster are outstanding.
