Adams Eight: When a film brings the power of rowing to the big screen
At the filmforum Duisburg, sports history meets cinema magic: Adams Eight tells the story of Karl Adam, the visionary coach who shaped a German success story with his eight crew and helped to create the myth of the Germany Eight.

A sports drama with rhythm, pressure, and precision
This is not about quick effects, but about strategy, discipline, and the famous synchrony of a team that punishes any unrest immediately in the boat. Adams Eight focuses on field suspense without a field: on water, wind, will, and the moment when a crew becomes one. The story takes you back to the time when Karl Adam changed the sport of rowing in Ratzeburg with new training ideas and an unorthodox perspective on performance.
