The exceptional true story of the American rowing team that found Olympic triumph amid devastating times hit theaters just last month, but did you know that it was adapted from a #1 New York Times best-selling novel by Daniel James Brown? The Boys in the Boat follows the journey of the University of Washington crew as they compete in the historic 1936 Summer Olympic games in Berlin. A team of young, working-class men in the midst of the Great Depression defeats the odds and makes a name for themselves on a global scale. The story focuses on Joe Rantz, a boy who builds himself up from a broken background through rowing. However, each storyline in this moving tale shows how a dream and some grit can change the world.
