DocuMonday

DocuMonday presents a screening of the 2018 documentary Maiden on Monday, January 6, at 7:00 pm in the Peter White Public Library’s Community Room on the lower level of the Library.

In her mid-20s, Tracy Edwards, a cook on charter boats, decided that she wanted to be a crew member in the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race.  Unfortunately, since she was a woman, no crew would have her, so she put her own, all-female crew together, the first to run this race.  Directed by Alex Holmes, the movie is rated PG runs for 97 minutes.

Maiden won 5 awards including best documentary from the National Board of Review, USA, and best film from the Dublin International Film Festival.  Tracy Edwards won the most compelling living subject of a documentary award from the Critic’s Choice Documentary Awards.

There is no admission charge thanks to sponsorship by the Friends of the Peter White Public Library.  For more information, visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
