A 1930s-set story centred on the University of Washington’s rowing team, from their Depression-era beginnings to winning gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
The Boys in the Boat is a sports drama based on the No.1 New York Times bestselling non-fiction novel written by Daniel James Brown. The film, directed by lovely local George Clooney, is about the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed for gold at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. This inspirational true story follows a group of underdogs at the height of the Great Depression as they are thrust into the spotlight and take on elite rivals from around the world.
Partly filmed on location in Henley, we can’t wait. Rowing fans or not, you won’t want to miss this.
UK release date 12th January 2024.
