Wanted you to know that there is a great opportunity this weekend for students to see an inspiring film in theatres, that was written and directed by a very young Hispanic director. It is a film that is about relationships and loyalty and love between fathers, sons, brothers and family. The name of the film is More Than A Game. It is in selected theatres for a very short time, but is a tremendous opportunity to show the talents of not only the subjects of the film but of the HIspanic flim maker. Please make this an opportunity for young people with dreams. It is a wonderful film for everyone.
