On a Clear Day (2005)

This inspirational drama illustrates how when you aspire to something extraordinary, you can find the hero within. When Glasgow shipbuilder Frank Redmond is suddenly laid off, he finds himself without a job or a sense of direction. An offhand remark from a friend inspires Frank to challenge himself. Determined to shore up his own self-confidence, he will attempt the near-impossible -- swimming the English Channel. (Focus Features)
