Featured review
Jessica makes you proud to be an Aussie
This film, while somewhat lightweight and breezy, recounts the main things one needs to know about Jessica's incredible story.
Well acted, and spliced beautifully with real footage, this is a tale that will make you feel both inspired and awe struck.
As a fellow Aussie I followed her voyage with excitement at the time and remember vividly her return into Sydney harbour
Watching this film with my 10yr old daughter, and seeing how inspired and amazed she was, reminds me of the hope and excitement for life Jessica inspired in us all back then.
Watch this and know that this young lady (at the time) really was as incredible as the movie makes her out to be.
