00:10 There are some moments in life you never forget.
00:14 The depression hit everyone hard.
00:20 No jobs, no food.
00:22 We were broke.
00:23 Looks like you still owe a balance on this semester.
00:28 So what's that about making some money?
00:30 You're the rowing team.
00:31 You're on here, you get a part-time job included, cheap place to live.
00:34 Eight-man crew is the most difficult team sport in the world.
00:38 The average human body is just not meant for such things.
00:42 Most of you will not be chosen.
00:45 Beautiful speech, coach.
00:47 You're announcing the team today. Are you gonna make it?
00:51 We rode out of need.
00:52 Come on, boys!
00:53 The need to stay in school.
00:55 The need to eat.
00:56 To sleep.
00:57 We gotta keep these, alright? As long as we stay on the team.
01:00 Washington Huskies coach is bringing an inexperienced boat to competition.
01:04 They said we couldn't compete with the richest school in the nation.
01:07 The Washington boat has taken the lead!
01:10 Washington has done it!
01:12 I got nine seconds under the course record.
01:14 Olympic year this year.
01:16 Olympic year? I didn't realize.
01:18 That bunch of kids smell like no one else that's ever come through here.
01:22 Everybody else tires, they just get stronger.
01:25 We have the boat.
01:26 That I believe could qualify for an Olympic spot.
01:29 Hope you know what you're doing.
01:31 They said we couldn't beat the Germans.
01:34 We gotta beat those other schools first, but...
01:36 Coach says we have a shot.
01:37 Maybe we can roll as a team.
01:39 If you guys don't get yourselves figured out, you're not racing at all.
01:42 The boys, that boat.
01:45 It's all I got.
01:47 But they didn't understand who we were.
01:49 The show was in this boat.
01:54 I don't believe what I'm seeing!
01:56 The best boats, they're connected.
02:03 Sweat and pain.
02:07 For what it's worth, I'm proud of you boys.
02:11 Inspiring.
02:12 You missed the part where I told him not to tip over.
02:14 Vote for your country.
02:17 Vote for each other.
02:19 For all the people who never believed in you!
02:23 As one!
02:24 As one!
02:26 As one!
