#vendéeglobe #documentary #francetv #clemanddavi On November 3, 1996, 14 men and 2 women took up the challenge of the Vendée Globe by setting off from Les Sables-d'Olonne for the only solo round-the-world race, without stopovers or assistance on the most hostile seas on the planet. They didn't know it yet, but this third edition was about to turn into a nightmare. Seven of them would not finish the race, three would end up out of the race, five boats were shipwrecked and one sailor never returned. Behind this apocalyptic toll, there is the epic tale of adventurers who would distinguish themselves through their courage and determination. Twenty-five years later, they are still haunted by this odyssey. Directed by: Jeanne Lefèvre Production company: Hauteville Productions / France Télévisions
