About this event
Join the Back of the Yards staff for a screening of McFarland, USA! Click here to watch the trailer! Inspired by the 1987 true story, the movie 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, a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. 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. © Disney. 127 min- MPAA Rating PG Community Cinema is at a branch near you!
