Laura Joy Bedford made the playsheet for this month’s movie. Using the playsheet as a guide is a great way to watch the movie to really help the focus be on using the movie as yet another way that Inner Wisdom can help us to awaken.
Plan to join us for a discussion of this month’s movie, “McFarland USA,” on Sunday, March 27 at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT. Laura Joy Bedford will be facilitating this month’s movie discussion.
Inspired by the 1987 true story, McFarland, USA follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts to realize the boys’ exceptional running ability, things begin to change. Soon something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent—the power of family relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another, and their incredible work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve their own kind of American dream.
The movie is available on Amazon, Vudu, YouTube, and Itunes.
