Synopsis
The Mercy (2018) is a British biographical drama directed by James Marsh that you can watch online on iFILM. Colin Firth plays Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor who mortgaged his home and his company in 1968 to enter the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race — a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. Rachel Weisz plays his wife, left behind to hold everything together.
He set off underprepared. The boat was leaking. The numbers didn't add up. And somewhere in the South Atlantic, Crowhurst made a decision that still baffles people: rather than turn back and face ruin, he fabricated his position logs and kept sailing — in circles. Back home, the press was building him into a hero.
James Marsh, who made the tightrope-walk documentary Man on Wire, brings the same precision to this real-life story. Firth plays the unraveling quietly and without melodrama, which makes it land harder. Stream The Mercy (2018) online on iFILM.
