McFarland, USA

Over the weekend, my family and I saw McFarland, USA in the theaters and I loved it! It's about a community of hardworking Hispanics who watch their teen boys go to the California state championship in cross country. It was a very inspiring movie and I would recommend it! The community was very poor, so I did not see many cell phones, televisions, or social media displayed in the movie. It was refreshing to see the absence of media and how the boys focused on work, school, and running. It was very uplifting and had a great message about family and hard work. I am grateful for movies like this that focus on hardships and perseverance, rather than sex, wealth, and drugs.
