We saw this when it premiered in Wenatchee, WA. It was a packed house, full of really engaged people, seemed like mostly athletes. The film looked like it was going to be a light hearted sports flick, but ended up being so much more than that! It touched on topics like grit and passion, and also suicide and depression.
The kids loved it as much as I did! It was completely entertaining but also asked a lot of important questions. It opened the door to some hard conversations that are probably good for everybody to hear. But maybe especially teenagers. Since it's got the action sports that so many kids love, it gives people a metaphor to speak to kids about important topics that might be scary to address head on.
Over all a really great film! Made you laugh, cringe, think cry and celebrate all at once!
