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 daring 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 2,300-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. Directed
and edited by two of the key filmmakers responsible for the acclaimed 2004 surfing documentary
“Riding Giants” and the recent rock documentary “Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who” (coproduced
and edited by Paul Crowder; directed by Mark Monroe), this film will appeal to the sense
of adventure in everyone.
