JUMP

U.S.A./67 mins.

Synopsis: In some counties, length is everything.

Every spring, Calaveras County celebrates its history with a jumping frog jubilee and fair, based on Mark Twain's famous short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". 40,000 visitors to Angels Camp, California come to see whose frog will jump the farthest. Jump legend Lee Giudici has held the world record for two decades, jockeying Rosie the Ribiter 21' 5 3/4" inches in 1986.

JUMP follows three dedicated frog teams and a solo jockey as they prepare for their annual quest to be the County's top jumper. The jockeys all take different paths to achieve their own place in history: a coveted bronze plaque on the Hop of Fame.
