RPL Client Produces Film about Laura Dekker, Youngest Sailor to Circumnavigate the Globe

BY: KATE THUMA

In the works: RPL client Jillian Schlesinger is producing and directing a film about Dutch teenager Laura Dekker titled “Maidentrip.” As described on www.maidentrip.com: “Laura Dekker was born on a boat, has sailed alone since she was six, and for as long as she can remember has dreamed of sailing around the world. At fourteen, after a long and public court battle with Dutch authorities, she won the right to set sail on a two year global odyssey that would make her the youngest person ever to complete a solo circumnavigation… Maidentrip intimately and creatively navigates Laura’s extraordinary life journey and her epic quest to both conquer the world and discover her place in it.”
