These men used rowing as an act of escapism because it was a calming experience for them that they used to get away from the chaos back home where they grew up, which involved a lot of gangs and danger with and outside of their families.

Being involved  with the rowing team affected these men later in their lives because they created a bond together, a sort of brotherhood that lasted them a lot farther than just when they were rowing as a team. it got them places they never knew they thought they’d end up with and ended up with each other as well.

They use rowing as a strategy to escape from the struggles they have in life and to seek happiness with some other things.

a part that made me giggle was when they were telling some funny stories during the documentary.

# data[].attributes.body
The men were using the rowing team as a way to escape from their home lives where gangs are all over.

# data[].attributes.body
As these men got older they realized they were closer than friends and become brothers that would then have a rowing team way out of high school. Their new rowing team allowed them to work with cops (something they never thought they would all do). Being in the rowing team in high school and later in life helped them stay out of trouble and have their own businesses or have a good job. As for the only negative I can come up with is when the men graduated from high school and weren't on the rowing team anymore, some of them got in trouble and went to jail because they weren't able to get away from the gangs as easily.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of my favorite parts of this film is

1. When they got away from the gangs and chose to be on the rowing team
2. Helped their children and other children learn how to row
3. When they team up with the cops for the race
4. When they got successful in their own businesses.
