A Powerful Journey Across the Pacific
Presented in partnership with United Airlines, 'Row of Life' is an extraordinary documentary that captures the remarkable story of Angela Madsen - a Marine Corps veteran, three-time Paralympian, and 14-time Guinness World Record holder. In 2020, Angela embarked on an epic solo journey, attempting to row across the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles to Hawaii.
This inspiring film is more than just a tale of athletic endurance - it's a testament to human determination and the power of love. Through intimate footage and compelling storytelling, we witness Angela's unwavering spirit as she faces the challenges of the open ocean, while her wife Deb provides steadfast support from shore, championing her dream every stroke of the way.
The screening will open with 'Bathers', a touching Australian short film directed by Theresa Roberts that explores grief, healing, and finding oneself within a supportive community of female surfers.
Don't miss this Victorian premiere that showcases the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of pursuing one's dreams against all odds.
