Centurion XII (2023)

Very real and moving

I believe the leukemia girl's name is Leticia, an alumna from SCU, 1970s. I saw her story in the early 90s on TV 20/20--it was the exact story: the horses, the ranch, her debilitating rare illness, Mexican ethnicity, and her mother. As a cancer survivor, I vicariously enjoyed the movie, sometimes with a knot in my throat. It's a moving story of a young girl who is faced with the greatest challenge in her life, and her mother by her side giving her comfort and love. I loved the music, the Spanish and English music, the dancing horses, the training of horses with music, the bonding of human and animal. Well done.
