Paddles On The Water
Paddles On The Water immerses the audience in the world of women’s Dragon Boating. Through the stories of coaches and paddlers of Wasabi Paddling Club Women’s Program, a world-renowned team from the Pacific Northwest, the viewer experiences firsthand the power of 20 women paddling together in perfect unison. Paddlers share the life altering experience of finding their sport amidst a diverse and supportive community regardless of their age, background, or athletic ability. Through their stories we discover what a multi-generational team of female athletes can achieve and just how far they can go together. Paddles On The Water features exhilarating race footage from the 2018 and 2019 race season. We follow the team through training, to small local races, to Nationals, and all the way to World Championships in Szeged, Hungary. As paddles glide across rippling water, the collective ethos, the drive, and the interconnectedness of the women in the boat shines through.
