The Eight "is a thrilling, behind-the-scenes look at a group of
young men who have given up nearly everything to transform
themselves into the best team possible at arguably the world's most
venerable rowing institution, Harvard crew. Through a blend of

highlights their struggles and triumphs as she follows them through
the spring season of 2008. This exclusive, competitive world is

national championship and one former member achieves a historic
first for Harvard: a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. What
these men go through physically to earn a seat in the Harvard first
eight is just the beginning. The real test of their mettle is the
inner athlete called upon to make their dreams a reality in this
very tense and dramatic world. "The Eight "chronicles the drama of
a full season of elite college racing, including the bitter
personal struggles and the team's pursuit of excellence.
