Description

In 1936, nine boys from the University of Washington took the rowing world and a nation by storm, when their eight-oar crew team captured the gold medal at the Olympics in Berlin. The boy's victory, and the obstacles, inspired a nation struggling to emerge from the depths of the Depression.

    Why is a 60 minute episode of American Experience priced like a movie. It should only be 1.99 as good as it is

  • really stuck with me

    I've never been the slightest bit interested in crew, but the book "The Boys in the Boat" as well as this documentary were recommended to me. I watched this movie and couldn't wait to read the book afterwards. I've already watched this twice. It's an amazing story of triumph in the face of diversity by a hardworking group of gritty underdog boys. I can't recommend it enough!!
