Endgame (2015)
Sinds hij 5 jaar oud was, leerde Jose's abuelita hem schaken zoals zijn grootvader, die kampioen was in Mexico. Nu hij deel uitmaakt van het Brownsville-schoolteam, heeft Jose de kans om zijn vaardigheden te gebruiken en staat hij voor één keer in zijn leven in de schijnwerpers, terwijl hij probeert zijn team te helpen de staatsfinale van Texas te halen. Terwijl hun coach, de heer Alvarado, zijn studenten de betekenis leert van doorzettingsvermogen en teaminspanning bij tegenslag, ontdekt Jose zijn eigen sterke punten en gebruikt hij deze om zijn gebroken gezin bij elkaar te brengen.
