@@carolebusching392 Yeah, that's a bummer about the filming being done elsewhere. That may have something to do with the fact that Washington state laws make it too expensive to film in this state which is why so many films set here are filmed in British Columbia or Oregon.

As one of Bob Moch's grandson's i am incredibly proud to see this incredible, seemingly impossible story come to life on the screen... My grandfather told me this story many times when I was still a child and the full impact of it never really hit me until I saw this film for the first time. Again i want to thank Jenn Gibbons of the George Pocock Foundation for finding an advance ticket for me on December 12th. This story doesnt just tug at the heartstrings... It instills pride in an amazing group of men that beat all of the odds. I was able to take my adult children to see the film last night and all three of us where moved to tears at almost every moment in the film... In closing I genuinely hope that everyone is moved as much as I have been...

I was a singles' sculler in one of the very few university programs that offered sculling in the US. While the training is brutal (esp in early spring, we're talking 5:30 am wake up calls in the freezing cold, followed by the dreaded erg machine), there is something hauntingly beautiful about rowing on the water when all that hard work just comes together. I do miss it.

Based on a true story. I watched a special done by PBS about these young men and their coach. Remarkable story. They were incredible. All the obstacles that were put in their way yet they still managed to overcome each one. That documentary was fantastic and I still think about it. I had no idea they'd made a movie out of it. The trailer looks good. I hope George Clooney does this story and those who lived it along with their families, justice. I'll keep my fingers crossed when I go see it.

My Grandfather rowed for UW in the late 20s. The 1929 photo in the front of the book of the team members sawing a large log has my grandfather, Gail W Burleigh, in it. At Grandpa Burleigh’s funeral, his 3rd son, said he was most proud of his rowing for UW. He was a a dry land boy, very poor, but played defensive end for football in high school and a short time for UW. However, he couldn’t stay in college and had to return to Great Falls to help his single mother pay bills. He was a husband, father to 4 sons, and a cattle rancher in MT the rest of his life. He also helped fight the MannGulch fire of 1949 since he owned the Beartooth ranch close to where to smoke jumpers died. Looking forward to this movie, Susan

Alot of early morning practices before school with strength training as well. I am so glad I was a part of it all. Many of memories! ❤

As a Gonzaga high school rower I went to the west coast to row. I held an American record as well as was in the midst of Trail Blazers in rowing. Best years of my life and the thrill of winning stotesbury along with many other memories. I was given four copies of the book. The sheer ability to never give up is in everyone

I was recruited for and rowed on the udub crew team my freshman year back in 2008/2009. I lasted one year. Never thought I could push my body THAT hard, and I had already been doing crew four years prior to that. The thing that I remember standing out the most was the annual triathlon.

Great book! Read it on the plane to London when I rowed in the Henley Masters. Can’t wait to see it.

I dated a women’s crew member when she was on a university team. The training and dedication to the sport and her teammates was amazing. I will definitely watch this movie. The fact that I live in Washington state and have followed their rowing crews for decades has nothing to do with my interest. LOL

In the chapter where the book talks about Washington's race against Princeton, it describes Carnegie Lake in detail. I kayak in that lake frequently and the description exactly fits what the lake is still like 100 years later. I think that was filmed on location, so I can't wait to see it. And as a very competitive dragon boat racer, I can identify with the team. I'll be one of the first people to see it.
