During the height of the Great Depression, members of the rowing team at the University of Washington get thrust into the spotlight as they compete for gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
This movie was the textbook underdog sports movie but was done sooooooooo well. You are hooked to pretty much every character and on edge for every race. You are so hooked that you are cheering and clapping during the movie. Never in a million years thought that one of my favorite underdog movies ever would be about rowing. LOL!
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was a very very enjoyable movie and leaves you feeling really really good.
