Tell the story of a rowing team inside a senior living community without reaching for the obvious sentiment.

Hours of interview footage watched down to the timestamp, then handed to the editor as a finished assembly rather than a pile of selects. The person who ran the interviews knew which pause was the real answer and which sentence was the second, better take — none of which survives a transcript.

Interviews conducted, cuts selected, story assembled: Steve Morgan.
