44 WEST | DOCUMENTARY | IN DEVELOPMENT, COMING 2026

Against all odds: With bare hands and muscle power against the overwhelming power of the ocean, against six-meter-high waves, darkness, loneliness, illness and a lack of food and sleep, four young Swiss top athletes want to achieve the impossible: the world record in the toughest and longest rowing race in the world.
