    In 1926, Trudy Ederle became the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel, a 21-mile stretch from France to England, and yet, her name has been lost to history.

    “Young Woman and the Sea” shines a light on her accomplishments and the strides she made in the world of women’s sports.

    Daisy Ridley, who plays Ederle, spoke about the tenacious swimmer. “The difficulties she faced was all the sorts of trials and tribulations of being a woman of that time. She just refused to be boxed in, puts in a lot of effort and starts winning absolutely everything.”

    “She changed women’s sports forever, and I think it’s important to tell that story,” said director Joachim Rnning.

    “Ultimately, she realizes this actually means more to people than even she could understand,” Ridley explained.
