The Californer/10324007

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the broadcast premiere of Hell or High Seas on August 22, 2025.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Hell or High Seas follows troubled former Naval rescue swimmer Taylor Grieger and a high school comrade turned author as they embark on a quest across the world's most treacherous waters. In a small but mighty refurbished sailing vessel, their voyage sees them battling 130-mph winds, outrunning pirates off the Colombian coast and pushing their friendship to the breaking point.

Fueled by grit, camaraderie and purpose, their journey leads Grieger to launch Skeleton Crew Adventures, a nonprofit helping veterans and first responders rebuild confidence and direction after service. Directed by Glenn Holsten and produced by Chayne Gregg, Hell or High Seas is a story of resilience, brotherhood and never giving up.

Hell or High Seas premiered at the Intrepid Museum in New York City and went on to screen in cities throughout the US.
