Event Details

This Valentine's Day weekend, we may not be able to be together, but we can stream together! Join us on Discord for a shared movie streaming event. We will be watching the 2013 documentary Maidentrip on FCPL's Kanopy streaming service.  This SXSW Film Festival Audience Award Winner follows 14-year-old Laura Dekker as she sets out - camera in hand - on a two-year voyage in pursuit of her dream to be the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone. (This film is not rated.)

" Potent...Inspiring...Real Beauty." - Time Out New York

" It's easy to imagine this compelling chronicle, and its defiantly strong heroine, inspiring countless teens and parents alike." - New York Daily News

"There is a lovely simplicity to 'Maidentrip.' While this film might initially call to mind 'All Is Lost,' the story here is about one girl's daunting quest and the sheer joy she gets from fulfilling it." - The Village Voice
