Movie Haiku:At age 14, Laura Dekker set off from Holland determined to become the youngest person ever to sail solo around the globe. Oy! Schlesinger & her team do a masterful job of editing all the film Laura took along the way, adding context in the three mid-ocean stretches plus lively animated maps. We along for the ride, so Schlesinger wisely leaves "the Big Questions" for others. Not yet seen by Rich.
