About this movie

In this inspiring tale based on true events, 17-year-old Ali Jahani is a newcomer to a small California town, where he stands out as different in an unwelcoming community. Living with his embittered uncle, the boy faces a mountain of adversity everywhere he turns. Rejected by everyone but determined to fit in, he joins the school’s floundering wrestling team. With a chance to change how others see him, Ali must step up and learn to be a hero.

Ratings and reviews

I liked this movie because it shows the pressure illegal immigrants have comming to the U.S. I could also understand the struggle Ali went through for wrestling because I am also a wrestler and I am in the heavy weight division. Not much jumping around, but it is very tough nonetheless. This film really portrays how it feels like to be on the mat, fighting for honor, family, and a clean inhalation of breath.

An epic movie similar to Rocky except it is based on a true story so even more inspirational. Well-made. Great acting. Many moral lessons so perfect to watch with children or grown ups. The film is a reflection on many great American values.

ma io non riesco a trovarlo da nessuna parte..... e su google lay mi fa vedere solo il trailer
