This Woody Harrelson film, based on the Spanish dramedy Campeones, challenges audiences to think about how many people in society disregard and preemptively judge those with mental disabilities. 

This is the the hilarious and heartwarming story of a former minor-league basketball coach who, after a series of missteps, is ordered by the court to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities. He soon realizes that despite his doubts, together, this team can go further than they ever imagined.

Filmed in Canada with all Special Olympics Canada athletes.

Recommended for ages 13+ for crude/sexual references and strong language.
