"The amazing, inspiring true story of a young woman raised by a fundamentalist Mormon family in Idaho – she had no birth certificate, never attended school, never saw a doctor – who eventually, through sheer force of will, manages to leave, go to college, and ultimately receive a PhD from Cambridge. A lesson in what people can overcome."

Very good feel good film
An enjoyable feel good film as a coach with tough methods aims to to turn around the fortunes of the boys on his team, on and off the court. Samuel L Jackson is great in his role and although predictable it's a fun feel good film based on a true story.
