The Young Woman and the Sea has made a splash on Disney+, with the film centring around Gertrude Ederle - the first woman to swim the English Channel. After watching the inspirational biopic, viewers have wanted to learn more about her record-breaking swim through jellyfish-infested waters.
Arriving on the streaming service last week, The Young Woman and the Sea depicts Gertrude ‘Trudy’ Ederle's 1926 crossing with her battling against the elements.
