Sixty years after his late father won the world’s oldest boat race on the River Thames, a son journeys from New Zealand to London, determined to row the same course, only to discover what he’s truly searching for is the man he never truly got to know.

The Waterman’s Son is a compelling real life story about legacy, loss, and selfdiscovery in life’s hardest moments. It speaks to the silence that often divides men across generations. Grief. Unspoken love. Conversations we never have. Almost everyone carries a version of the same story.

At the heart of the film is a question the son finds himself asking more and more, did I ever truly know my father as a man?
