Fifteen young sailors... six months of THE MOVIE: 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 2500 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. Conceived, produced, and executive produced by Roy E. Disney and Leslie DeMeuse, and directed and edited by two of the key filmmakers responsible for the recent rock documentary "Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who," MORNING LIGHT will appeal to the sense of adventure in everyone. Rated PG. Opens in theaters on October 17, 2008.
