The Boys in the Boat is the story of Joe Rantz a charismatic young man born dirt poor in the woods of Washington State who dreams of escaping the challenges of the Great Depression & a complicated family life full of painful memories. What follows is an extraordinary journey as Joe & eight other young men exchange the sweat & graft & dust of ordinary life for the purer rigours of sport at its very highest level
- a journey at the end of which lies a gold medal rowing race at the Berlin Olympics of 1936 in front of Hitler himself. Told against the grand backdrop of 1930s America The Boys in the Boat is a story full of lyricism & unexpected beauty; a story that rises above sport & even the grand sweep of history itself in favour of something more personal.

In the spring of 1966 while the war in Vietnam was still popular the US military decided to reactivate the 9th Infantry Division as part of the military build-up. Across the nation farm boys from the Midwest surfers from California & city-slickers from Cleveland opened their mail to find greetings from Uncle Sam. Most American soldiers of the Vietnam era trickled into the war zone as individual replacements for men who had become casualties or had rotated home. Charlie Company was different as part of the only division raised drafted & trained for service. From draft to the battlefields of South Vietnam this is the unvarnished truth from the fear of death to the chaos of battle told almost entirely through the recollections of the men themselves.
