Absolutely gripping! I was at the edge of my seat! What these men endured is truly unbelievable. I had to remind myself to breathe throughout!
Aleks Malejs, Certified Addiction Recovery Coach and Peer Advocate

Narrated by William Fichtner, an actor well known for roles in The Perfect Storm, Heat and Black Hawk Down, it tells the harrowing story of four veterans competing in an extreme race to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat. They set out to raise awareness for veteran mental health, PTSD, and veteran suicide, and when their boat capsizes, the team ends up fighting for their lives. With footage of the race, sinking life raft, and a miraculous rescue, the film is an adventure that tells a story of hope, teamwork, and healing.
