City of McFarland (2015)
Der High School Trainer Jim White kommt an eine Schule im hauptsächlich von Latinos bewohnten McFarland, Kalifornien. Wirtschaftlich hat die Gegend den jungen Menschen nicht viel zu bieten, die Berufschancen der Schüler sind daher schlecht. White fällt es schwer, einen gemeinsamen Nenner mit den Schülern zu finden, bis ihm deren außergewöhnliche läuferische Fähigkeiten auffallen. Entgegen allen sozialen Schwierigkeiten entschließt er sich, eine Leichtathletikmannschaft auf die Beine zu stellen. Whites Ziel ist hoch: Er will seine Schüler zur Meisterschaft führen. Schritt für Schritt kommen der Trainer und seine Jungs dem großen Erfolg näher – und mit jedem Meter fühlt sich White in der neuen Umgebung heimischer…
