An uplifting true-story drama about Mexican-American teenagers overcoming segregation and systemic exclusion through teamwork, determination, and the transformative power of sport.

In a segregated Texas, five Mexican-American teenage caddies were prohibited from playing at the country club where they worked. Against all odds, they formed their own team, built a one-hole course in the fields, and won the 1957 Texas State championship. Based on a true story.
