Adventurer Lisa Blair is embarking on a voyage to become the first woman to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around Antarctica. When unexpected and life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs to dig into every ounce of courage, determination and self-belief to not only finish the journey, but survive in the most dangerous waters on the planet. An epic tale of perseverance, pushing limits and believing you can achieve something even when you don't know how.

The Whale Song
Delve into the enigmatic communication of humpback whales. Beyond their renowned songs lies a thrilling revelation -these majestic creatures ingeniously remix each other's tunes, passing melodies around the world's oceans. The Whale Song draws a parallel between the musical genius of DJ Sam Feldt and the whales' haunting harmonies. As Sam transforms whale songs into chart-topping human beats, an extraordinary synergy between nature and art unfolds.
