Going for Gold - the '48 Games follows the compelling journey to the Olympic final of boatbuilder's son Bert Bushnell (Smith) and Oxford-educated Richard "Dickie" Burnell (Hoare). Thrown together as double sculling partners just six weeks before the games, they had to overcome vast differences in their backgrounds to become a world class rowing team on an International Olympic stage. With compelling supporting performances from James Frain (True Blood) and Geoffrey Palmer (As Time Goes By), Going for Gold - the '48 Games is an inspiring tale worthy of an Olympic gold medal.
