ABOUT THE MOVIE: |
Fifteen young sailors… six months of
intense training… one chance at the brass
ring. This exciting true-life documentary tells the inspiring story
of a group of intrepid and determined young men and women, on the
cusp of adulthood, as they embark on life’s
first great adventure. Racing a high-performance 52-foot sloop in
the TRANSPAC, the most revered of open-ocean sailing competitions,
the crew of “Morning Light”
matches wits and skills in a dramatic 2500 mile showdown against top
professionals. From their earliest training sessions in Hawaii
conducted by world-class teachers through their test of endurance on
the high seas, they form an unbreakable bond in the process of
becoming a singular team that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Conceived, produced and executive produced by Roy E. Disney and Leslie DeMeuse, and directed and edited by two of the key filmmakers responsible for the recent rock documentary “Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who,” MORNING LIGHT will appeal to the sense of adventure in everyone. Rated PG. Opens in theaters October 17, 2008. |
