A documentary about two time Olympic rowing champion Jame Cracknell and his teammates rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. When celebrity rowers James Claknell and Ben Fogel decided to participate in the Atlantic Rowing Race, they thought they knew what would happen. In fact, they know nothing. Through Hell and High Water "tells the incredible journey of these two people. James and Ben rowed 2930 miles, recounting their epic journey: battling stormy weather, dehydration, life-threatening conditions, and immense physical stress. Sometimes, their extraordinary voyages turn into earthly hell, extending their friendship to the brink of collapse. Having reached their physical, psychological, and emotional limits, Ben and James often rowed naked to avoid serious abrasions. They survived for two days without water rationing, losing their only few clothes in an abnormal wave, capsizing, experiencing hallucinations, crying, fighting, playing games, growing beards, and getting blisters. 49 days later, they became the first team to cross the finish line, becoming the first ever British team to win the game. The rich additional content on the DVD includes James and this heartfelt diary.
