Mexican American sports drama ‘The Long Game’ to screen at the White House
A wonderful sports drama about Mexican Americans titled “The Long Game” is scheduled to be screened on White House on April 9 in an incredible collaboration with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. It will be officially released on April 12 after a few days.
This special event focuses on the film’s amazing story of determination, which captures the essence of Mexican American tradition and triumph.
“The Long Game” recounts the true story of five young Mexican American caddies who overcome all difficulties to open their own golf course in South Texas’s brush country, based on the book “Mustang Miracle” by Humberto G. Garcia. They overcame all odds and won the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship, showing the strength of their determination and resilience.
As per Variety, Antonio Tijerino, the Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s president and CEO stated, “We are thrilled to support ‘The Long Game’ and are grateful to the White House for making sure our American stories are being told and seen. This is why supporting inspirational, Latino-themed movies and companies like Mucho Mas telling our stories is important.”
Congressman Joaquin Castro stated, “‘The Long Game’ is a must-see film about the perseverance and resilience of young Mexican American trailblazers in a South Texas border town. This movie is a powerful counter-narrative to harmful portrayals of Latinos in film and a shining example of the empowering stories that Latino advocates have long urged Hollywood to tell. Congratulations to Mucho Mas Media and the talented Latino creators behind ‘The Long Game’ for this landmark accomplishment.”
