Lost At Sea, Johnny Burke
“He started out looking for freedom and ended up emotionally trapped.” That’s how Louis Bird, son of Peter Bird, first man to row solo from San Francisco to Australia—over 8,000 miles— comes to understand his father. Peter died in1986 on his fifth try to row from Vladivostok to San Francisco, and be the first person to do a Pacific double crossing. What drove him, and others who undertake such feats? Usually, films like this never answer such a question. Lost at Sea does. —SJPH
