This documentary follows Angela Madsen, a former Marine, Paralympian,
and renowned ocean rower, on her attempt to solo row from Los Angeles to
Hawaii —100 days, across 2,500 miles of open ocean. The film follows the
year before the row and her preparation alongside her beloved wife, Deb.
Angela Madsen’s life reads like a parable of resilience; beginning with the
backstory of her childhood as a closeted gay woman, to a botched surgery
during her time in the Marine Corps that left her paralyzed and homeless,
to her remarkable rise to adaptive sports superstar as a 3x Paralympian
and 14x Guinness World Record holder, and finally to her attempt to row
across the Pacific Ocean alone in her 20’ ocean rowing boat, Row of Life.
