It was 2013 when long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad swam a miraculous 110 miles from Cuba to Florida. However, after her swim from the Bahamas to Florida, Nyad retired from swimming, and spent the next three decades away from the sport. The jellyfish were still an obstacle this time around, and violent storms threw Nyad off track, also flooding her team’s boat and almost throwing Nyad entirely off course. However, it was Nov. 3rd of 2023 that their debut narrative film was released to Netflix, “NYAD.” Actresses Annette Bening and Jodie Foster deliver powerful performances, Bening as Diana Nyad and Foster as Bonnie Stoll.
