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 2300 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. Edited by one of the key
filmmakers responsible for the acclaimed 2004 surfing
documentary, "Riding Giants," written and directed by the
team of filmmakers behind the recent rock documentary
"Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who," and the critically
acclaimed "Once in a Lifetime; The Extraordinary Story of
the New York Cosmos," "Morning Light" will appeal to the
sense of adventure in everyone.
