Our 8pm screening is the American drama starring Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Pierce Brosnan, THE GREAT LILLIAN HALL.
ICE MAIDEN
Documentary, 99 mins
Cast: Lisa Blair, Jessica Watson, Robert McDavitt
Director: Nathaniel C.T. Jackson
The astonishing journey of solo-adventurer Lisa Blair as she embarks on her voyage to be the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.
Equal parts ambitious and treacherous, this trip has only ever been completed twice. Lisa's goal is to complete the journey for just the third time in history and to break the current record for speed.
As she navigates the most perilous parts of the journey, Lisa's confidence grows. But her instincts also tell her that no amount of preparation can guarantee her safe return.
When life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs every ounce of courage, determination and self-belief she has to survive in the most dangerous waters on the planet.
"Ice Maiden is so much more than a journey. Lisa's at the edge of the world, battling impossible conditions and you're on the edge of your seat as you watch." - IMDB
