How It Feels

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

A gritty portrait of a reckless young Southerner chasing legitimacy and glory through racing, caught between his outlaw past and his hunger to prove himself the best. It's a study in reinvention wrapped in the roar of stock car engines and the dust of the Deep South.
