“Row of Life” follows renowned ocean rower, Marine Corps veteran, 3x Paralympian, and 14x Guinness World Record holder Angela Madsen. This screening will feature a introductory talk and brief performance by musician Don Chilton who provided his signature conch shell music for the film's original score!
In 2020, Angela attempted to row solo and unassisted across the Pacific Ocean, from Los Angeles to Hawaii. What unfolds is a harrowing story of her determination, resilience, and immense courage to pursue the unknown, and the unyielding support of Angela’s wife, Deb, who, separated by a vast ocean, champions Angela’s dream despite the cost.
Directed by Soraya Simi. Executive produced by WNBA legend Sue Bird.
