Mor ning Light Movie

Disney Movie 'Morning Light' will be screened in Winnipeg at the  Globe Theatre December 12 th at 8:00pm .

This is not a film about sailboat racing but rather a story about a group of young adults sailing across the ocean and the obstacles they encounter. 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 determined 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 2500 mile showdown against top professionals.
