Documentary - West Coast Premiere!Row Hard No Excuses Starring: Tom Mailhot, John Zeigler
Noble quest or ill-fated nightmare?
John Zeigler and Tom Mailhot are among the oldest competitors to participate in a three thousand mile race across the Atlantic in a rowboat. They spend three years (and personal savings) to make their dream of winning possible, but once on the water, many obstacles arise. An inherently exciting sports-adventure story on the surface, this compelling film is more importantly an intimate portrait of the two-man crew and a deeper exploration of their personal quest. By incorporating the unique perspective of Tori Murden, the first woman to row solo across an ocean, and the diverse chorus of other teams, director Luke Wolbach transforms coverage of the race into a meditation on shattered expectations and the pursuit of happiness.
