Australian sailor Lisa Blair has undertaken plenty of adventures - and gone on to break records and inspire a documentary.
In 2022, Lisa became the fastest person to sail around Antarctica solo, non-stop and unassisted, something only achieved by two other sailors.
Her first attempt at that feat went on to inspire the new documentary 'Ice Maiden'.
She says she examined the perceived risks of the journey - but her skills helped her achieve her goal.
"Something like sailing solo round Antarctica seemed super risky - and when you watch the film, you'll see it was super risky in some elements - but if you've got the right skills and experience to back up those conditions and the right type of boat for the project, then you really can go on and achieve anything."
ICE MAIDEN at the Doc Edge Festival is playing in Christchurch (19-30 June), Auckland (3-14 July), Wellington (3-14 July) and then nationwide via the virtual cinema (15-31 July). More info at docedge.nz
