Young Woman and the Sea tells the extraordinary true story of the first woman to swim the English Channel. Daisy Ridley stars as accomplished swimmer Trudy Ederle, born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905. Through the steadfast support of her older sister and supportive trainers, she overcame adversity and the animosity of a patriarchal society to rise through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team and complete the staggering achievement—a 21-mile trek from France to England.
Young Woman and the Sea begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ on July 19, 2024.
