Young Wonan and the Sea

 Trudy Eberle swims English Channel in 1926. First woman to do so. A wonderful movie of a woman going with her sense of self against a male prejudiced world. Swimming was for men. Trudy showed otherwise. I suspect that when and if young girls get to see this movie they may take to the water instead of other sports or endeavors. Disney knows how to build the drama too. She was New York City. Immigrant parents in a world decided for her by men. Until she swam otherwise.
