Disney Hosts “Young Woman And The Sea” Premiere In London
Just ahead of the release of the new movie, “Young Woman And the Sea”, Disney held a special screening of the film at London’s Curzon Mayfair Theatre on Wednesday evening, which was attended by many of the cast and filmmakers from the movie.
Daisy Ridley stars as the accomplished swimmer who was born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905. Through the steadfast support of her older sister and supportive trainers, she overcame adversity and the animosity of a patriarchal society to rise through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team and complete the staggering achievement – a 21-mile trek from France to England.
The U.K.’s gala screening event was hosted by popular radio presenter Anna Whitehouse. In attendance were cast members Daisy Ridley, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Kim Bodnia, Jeanette Hain, and Sian Clifford, director/executive producer Joachim Rønning, writer/producer Jeff Nathanson, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and composer Amelia Warner.
