64 GOLD // ALL TOGETHER // OVERVIEW

SYNOPSIS ALL TOGETHER is based on the one-of-a-kind story of Jack “Kell” Kelly and his atypical approach in bringing together an Olympic caliber eight man boat for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

When we meet Kell he is fully immersed in a mid-life crisis. Kell is struggling to emerge from the shadow of the legacy of his last name. His father, J.B., the tough patriarch of Philadelphia was also the most accomplished oarsman in the history of rowing. His sister, Grace Kelly, was a movie star and a princess.

Motivated by desperation, Kell decides to risk his family’s name to pursue a victory of his own. His unusual vision leaves him on the outside of the rowing community looking in and with a disparate group of aging oarsmen to comprise his boat.

SYNOPSIS (continued) Nobody understands or believes in Kell’s vision. College crews have exclusively represented the U.S. at the Olympics for over forty years, and internationally, no team can even come close to matching the German’s renowned Ratzeburg crew, a talented crew so elite they haven’t lost a race in over five years.

In a sport that requires complete team discipline and synchronicity, the misfits that Kell brings together suffer from perhaps the most daunting problem of all… they absolutely hate each other.
