00:00 And action.
00:02 It's a boat full of underdogs representing an underdog nation.
00:10 In three, two, one, row!
00:13 Rowing, particularly in the 1920s,
00:15 was one of the most attended sports in the United States.
00:19 The Boys in the Boat is about strong, tough kids,
00:22 but they were poor and hungry.
00:24 They're rowing because it's the only way they could stay in college.
00:27 What's that about making some money?
00:29 You're the rowing team. You get a part-time job,
00:31 a cheap place to live. You make the team.
00:34 The stakes were much higher.
00:36 A-man crew is the most difficult team sport.
00:38 Most of you will not be chosen.
00:40 And it gave them an edge.
00:41 The Washington Boat has taken the lead!
00:43 Washington has done it!
00:45 These guys at the University of Washington taking on the seniors...
00:49 I got nine seconds under the course record.
00:51 ...and then taking on the fraternity kids,
00:53 and then taking on the Nazis.
00:57 Every film we've ever seen that has an underdog in it,
01:00 you're always rooting for,
01:01 that you can pull yourself up from nothing and succeed.
01:05 Give it everything!
01:06 There's lots of times when the human spirit prevails
01:10 over circumstances that it doesn't seem
01:13 that they ought to be able to prevail over.
01:15 George understood what the heart of the story was.
01:18 It reminds us of what we're capable of when we pull together.
01:22 The actual story of what they went through was really spectacular.
01:25 For all the people who didn't believe in you,
01:28 as one!
01:29 As one!
