This is a very powerful and wonderful film about the real life of Jim White. On his last stop of a high school coaching career he slowly demolished, he lands in a “border town” full of Mexican-Americans. Watch the film and you will find out why they are called MexiCANs not MexiCAN’TS.

Jim White: So, do you guys get paid by the hour?
David Diaz: No, the field.

Field work has to be the most back breaking labor there is. This film does not sugar coat it. Up at 4am until school, and then back in the field until 6pm, then two hours of training. I was exhausted just watching.

Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves) is great; but most of the credit should go to Niki Caro, the director, whose deft hand also brought you Whale Rider.
