NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM DISNEY STARRING DAISY RIDLEY. The exhilarating true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel, and inspire a new era for women in sports By age twenty, at the height of the Jazz Age, Trudy Ederle was the most accomplished swimmer in the world. She’d won Olympic gold and set a host of world records. But the greatest challenge remained: the English Channel. Only a few swimmers, none of them women, had ever made the treacherous twenty-one mile crossing. Trudy’s failed first attempt seemed to confirm what many naysayers believed: No woman could possibly accomplish such a thing. In 1926, Ederle proved them wrong.
