The Incredible Voyage of Bill Pinkney 1994 Directed by Mike Cerre
From Boston to Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Brazil, South Africa, Tasmania, Uruguay and then back, Bill Pinkney became the first African-American to sail solo around the world -- a journey chronicled in this Bill Cosby-narrated documentary. Communicating with schoolchildren in Boston and Chicago throughout his adventure, Pinkney offers inspiration through his story of commitment, courage, education and perseverance on the high seas.
