The Boys In The Boat.
The Boys In The Boat is a film that was based at a time of great poverty in America. At this time in America the great depression was on its last leg with the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. This was also a great time of despair and depression for Germany and all the people that lived there. The significance of having the games in Germany when there was great despair and hopelessness that even in these hopeless times there is still hope to look for. This story is about all the athletes that wanted a chance to work just to get a shot to have something better.
The boys in the boat are a triumph for the men that were in this hard time of the great depression to try to get a shot at whatever they can to get enough to get by. These men that tried out for this rowing team for Washington State did not do it for pleasure, they did it simply because it was the only option. It was the only way they could get a chance.
