Hell or High Seas

Hell or High Seas is a moving documentary about veteran Taylor, his experience with PTSD, and his (and his crew's) journey sailing around Cape Horn. It is a moving film, one that obviously took a lot of time, energy, and courage to make! I am also in awe of Taylor and the crew and their ability to figure it all out (engine maintenance, the sailing logistics, etc.). And the best part of this film is the message it sends to others struggling with PTSD - you are not alone, and there is hope! Thank you, Taylor and crew, for sharing this story so that others do not have to suffer in silence.

I was amazed how well they were able to document the action in such extreme conditions. The challenges at sea are endless and they were faced with everything. Many people hear about PTSD but haven't explored what it looks like for an individual to deal with it. Taylors experience lead him down a path of not only having the adventure of a lifetime but drove him to create a non-profit to help others fight the deadly effects of PTSD. The concept of "adventure therapy" explored in this documentary is now positively impacting countless veterans and first responders via Skeleton Crew Adventures. This is a great documentary and great mission to support!

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.

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.

Adventure, action, heart and soul! This documentary has it all! You'll enjoy the action of the sailing but be moved by the story of Taylor and other Vets as they talk about the struggle of returning to civilian life! I cannot say enough! Edge of your seat moment, tears and laughs! It has it all! Excellent cinematography as well! Watch it now!
