Based on the #1 New York Times bestselling non-fiction book, The Boys In The Boat is an inspirational true story following a group of underdogs at the height of the Great Depression as they are thrust into the spotlight. The 1936 University of Washington rowing team, who competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin, faced seemingly insurmountable odds in their quest to sail away with the top prize, ahead of elite rivals from around the world (including their Ivy League-tier US counterparts).
