This just in from LookLA:
Thrillseekers and film buffs take extra note of this one. Campus Circle invites the members of lookLA to a free film screening of Deep Water. From the producer of the climbing classic Touching the Void, Deep Water follows the voyage of Donald Crowhurst, one of the nine yachtsmen who joined a 1969 "London Times"-sponsored competition to make a highly publicized solo trip around the world. Crowhurst, a former engineer, but hardly the most experienced sailor, attempted this feat in a boat that he designed himself. A few weeks into the voyage it began leaking. Continuing through the vicious waters of Cape Horn appeared to be suicidal, but returning home meant humiliation and financial ruin.
