Take It To The Boards is a tour de force film about the world's most ancient and spectacular sport - Polo. Once enjoyed only by kings and aristocrats, Polo is now the sport of a new breed of horsemen: professional Polo players. The film follows a handful of these top-rated players as they compete on behalf of the United States in the Federation of International Polo World Cup VIII.

Take It To The Boards is more than just a film about Polo. It is about the journey of a group of young people from everyday backgrounds who dream of representing their country in a sport that is dangerous, expensive and seemingly exclusive. Never far behind the glamour and poetic beauty of horse and rider is the sport's reality of endless hard work, effort and struggle.

In addition to documenting Team USA's progress in the World Cup VIII, Take It To The Boards examines the history and culture of Polo. Presented in the classic style of a sports documentary, similar to "Dogtown and Z Boys," "Murderball," and "Riding Giants," this film examines life in the stressful, high-pressure world of Polo where every player is potentially one accident away from ending his career. In Polo, victory means little in terms of financial security; it's the thrill of playing that transcends every obstacle.

Take It To The Boards supports the efforts of Polo players and fans around the world to reinstate Polo as an Olympic sport. A portion of proceeds from this production will be disbursed to Team USA players and to further promote the sport of Polo in the United States and abroad.
