Inspired by the 1987 true story, "McFarland, USA" follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California's farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts to realize the boys' exceptional running ability, things begin to change. Soon something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent--the power of family relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another and their incredible work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve their own kind of American dream.

I use this video in my Spanish class. My students love it, and it covers lots of cultural topics that my rural Virginia students don't see too much of. It's just a fun movie to watch!

Love this movie! Showed it in my Spanish classroom and it got students talking about issues that aren't always discussed. They were cheering for the team throughout the movie.

This is a great family movie--it's so nice to be able to listen to it all without having to worry about words you don't want your kids or grandkids to hear. Very inspirational for what's important in life.
