Hell or High Seas

This is why you turn on a documentary.... Compelling story and characters, beautiful frames, a great narrative arc full of twists and turns you don't see coming that can only occur in real life... And to learn much more about the human condition.. This is a beautiful portrayal of a person leading the way and reconciling their pain and confusion, to transition back to the civilian community after serving in the Navy, and grappling with PTSD and sense of purpose. There's so much that is gently informed to you as the viewer, as you ride along with this amazing open seas adventure

This is a great exploration for anyone and could be suitable even as a family night around the TV. Highly recommend and hope this film inspires so many people to consider how to support the military to civilian transition.

This is truly an amazing story about the struggle our veterans face everyday and the adventure one man endured in order to create awareness of veteran suicide.

The is exciting, funny and the strength of Taylor's character sets an example for each of use.

This may be the best film regarding adventure sailing, The trials that Taylor and the crew endure are real and a strong warning that this type of adventure is not for the faint of heart.

It is amazing that this film has reached the hearts of so many veterans in need. It should be shared with all who served and all who care about the men and women of our military.

Thank you Taylor.

Amazing voyage through the real world struggles with PTSD and a unique and personal insight into overcoming obstacles. Well shot and edited. Love the Patagonia shots.

On a personal note.... As a family member of Veterans who have faced the difficulties of civilian life reintegration and friend of those who have taken their own life, all I can say is THANK YOU for highlighting your journey. Furthermore, I love how you have continued the voyage and what your organization Skeleton Crew Adventures is actively doing to help veterans and first responders on a daily basis. Keep up the amazing work, fair winds and calm seas.

This is the best documentary I've seen in years. It'll give you a whole new level of respect and awe for our brothers and sisters in the military. The adventure keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the footage is absolutely spectacular. This isn't a typical documentary film.

This is a great story. A story to bring awareness to military suicides and the difficulties veterans encounter adjusting to a civilian lifestyle. My company sponsored a Zoom call with Taylor and Stephen... which happened to be the day after Taylor's child was born. One of the questioned asked of him was why PTSD was so prevalent in non-combat personnel. Once he described the pace of operations that he faced as a rescue swimmer and the low success rates of missions I understood how that stress is not left with the Navy when you go home. And as a 20 year Navy guy myself, I found it crazy that the military is not doing more for those leaving the service. If nothing else, all military members need to see this movie.
