How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A quietly moving story about second chances and human dignity, where a small Indiana town discovers that winning isn't about perfection, it's about believing in people when they've stopped believing in themselves. The basketball games matter less than the transformations unfolding on and off the court.
