On November 23, 1942, German U-Boats torpedoed the British dispatch Benlomond. It sank in the Atlantic in two moments. The only real survivor was another steward named Poon Lim who, with no knowledge of the sea, managed to stay alive for 133 times on a little wooden raft. Predicated on 3 years of interviews, Singular Survivor reconstructs Poon’s remarkable ordeal. We observe a ship’s staff that saw him but refused to pick him up; his clever ways of trapping water and catching fish (later found in US Navy teaching films); and his appearance at land, only to find it an impenetrable jungle. When he was finally rescued in the mouth from the Amazon River, Poon was hailed as the “World’s Champ Survivor.” He still holds the Guinness Globe Record for success at ocean. His story can be an amazing tale of a man’s fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.
