Kell Kelly recruits a misfit crew of aging oarsmen to represent the United States in rowing at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Despite none of the crew liking each other and the immense challenge they face against the dominant German team, Kell is motivated to pursue victory and emerge from his family's legendary shadow. With Kell's unusual vision and desperate motivation, the crew trains and competes, eventually celebrating their unexpected success at the Olympics in total darkness.

64 GOLD // ALL TOGETHER // OVERVIEW
24. SYNOPSIS
ALL TOGETHER is based on the one-of-a-kind story of Jack
“Kell” Kelly and his atypical approach in bringing together an
Olympic caliber eight man boat for the 1964 Summer Olympics
in Tokyo.
When we meet Kell he is fully immersed in a mid-life crisis.
Kell is struggling to emerge from the shadow of the legacy of
his last name. His father, J.B., the tough patriarch of
Philadelphia was also the most accomplished oarsman in the
history of rowing. His sister, Grace Kelly, was a movie star and
a princess.
Motivated by desperation, Kell decides to risk his family’s name
to pursue a victory of his own. His unusual vision leaves him on
the outside of the rowing community looking in and with a
disparate group of aging oarsmen to comprise his boat.

25. SYNOPSIS (continued)
Nobody understands or believes in Kell’s vision. College crews have exclusively represented the U.S. at the Olympics for
over forty years, and internationally, no team can even come close to matching the German’s renowned Ratzeburg crew, a
talented crew so elite they haven’t lost a race in over five years.
In a sport that requires complete team discipline and synchronicity, the misfits that Kell brings together suffer from
perhaps the most daunting problem of all… they absolutely hate each other.
