This summer, Disney released a brand new original movie called "Young Woman And The Sea", which tells the extraordinary true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel.
Trudy was a remarkable swimmer born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905, defied societal norms and overcame numerous challenges to become a beacon of inspiration. With the unwavering support of her older sister and dedicated trainers, she not only conquered the ranks of the Olympic swimming team but also achieved the unimaginable–a 21-mile swim from France to England, a feat that remains a testament to human endurance and determination.
Recently, I got to speak with the composer of the film, Amelia Warner and talk to her about her experience working on her first film for Disney.
