We highly recommend that you take the time to watch The Boys in the Boat, the latest film by talented director George Clooney.

This inspiring movie is an adaptation of the best-selling book and tells the remarkable true story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team. Against all odds, at the height of the Great Depression, these determined individuals competed for gold at the Berlin Summer Olympics, showcasing the incredible power of teamwork, resilience, and determination.

Witness how this group of ambitious young men, despite facing numerous challenges including hunger and worn-out shoes, managed to overcome adversity and achieve great success. Watch in local movie theaters.
