“Like all good sports docs, the film goes from micro to macro on a dime, ultimately achieving an exhausted beauty.” |
 Row Hard, No Excuses
Row Hard, No ExcusesDirected by Luke WolbachCast: John Ziegler, Tom Mailhot, Tori Murden(83 min) USA Row Hard, No Excuses is a stunning documentary which focuses on two middle-age men who challenge the ocean in a rowboat and find the challenge requires more than physical skill and stamina.The event, the Atlantic Rowing Challenge, brings out the best and the worst over its 3000 mile course. We see what's in store for them beyond a sometimes beautiful horizon. Little did they know when they started this gruelling 58-day adventure that the drama would continue after the race was done. A stunning view of one of the most taxing athletic events in the world, and one that challenges the very character of the human animal, as well.
