In the documentary ‘Duel of the Eights – The Myth of Rowing on the Thames’ follows the elite rowers of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and also show where the passion for this sport begins: at schools like St. Edward's.
Our partner school highlights how deeply rowing is rooted in British school life. Training here is all about great passion, discipline and team spirit. The film team visited St. Edward's Oxford to describe the everyday life of the pupils for whom rowing is not just a sport, but part of a value-oriented education. In addition to St. Edward's, the documentary follows two international students as they train and study in Oxford and Cambridge, and highlights the historical significance of the Boat Race and the social traditions surrounding the Henley Royal Regatta. Tradition, ambition, competitive spirit – and a deep love of rowing. Don't miss it!
