What people are saying

"she decided to see it as a challenge and ... became the first solo adaptive rower to cross the Atlantic"

Carl Jones

BBC News

Through a mix of intimate yet amusing and uplifting interviews, personal and commercial archive footage, and cinematic b-rolls, the film sensitively explores Kelda's monumental journey through a life which has thrown more than her fair share of misfortune her way. The unbelievable highs, devastating lows, and her real and very raw emotions behind every decision in between, are all laid bare.

"From the lows of a life-changing injury to the highs of completing a solo row across the Atlantic, and the raw emotions of every decision in between, [Kelda] shows her determination to never quit."
