NYAD Interview w/ Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin, & Bonnie Stoll

“A remarkable true story of tenacity, friendship and the triumph of the human spirit, NYAD recounts a riveting chapter in the life of world-class athlete Diana Nyad. Three decades after giving up marathon swimming in exchange for a prominent career as a sports journalist, at the age of 60, Diana (four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with completing an epic swim that always eluded her: the 110 mile trek from Cuba to Florida. Diana goes on a thrilling, four-year journey with her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) and a dedicated sailing team.”

I got a chance to speak with directors, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, and the incredible Bonnie Stoll to discuss the true story, support systems, and more!

NYAD is available to stream on Netflix November 3, 2023.
