Summary:

Based on a true story, this film follows the compelling journey to the Olympic final of boatbuilder's son Bert Bushnell and Oxford-educated Richard "Dickie" Burnell. Thrown together as double sculling partners just six weeks before the games, they had to overcome vast differences in their backgrounds to become a world class rowing team on an International Olympic stage.
