Didn't like the fact that it wasn't filmed in del rio!
Great story and it's a historical event that we as del rio people use to inspire our youth. The fact that it didn't show that actual golf club or our historical land marks that make our town beautiful was sad. To take this man's story and mention certain locations that aren't historicaly correct is a crime. I understand that movies aren't like the books, but this book is an inspiration for triumph over segregation in the 1950s. Then for them to try and makes us look like criminals and parents that don't care about our children was personal to us. Every parent that was part of the 1957 team were supportive of their athlete. - trvlrn - 14 April 2024
Movie worth watching
The Long Game, not just another golf movie. It is a perfect inspirational film for the family. A movie about a piece of golf history that isn't talked about enough. Filled with inspiration, courage, resilience and unity among friends. A story about overcoming adversity in 1950's. The Long Game is lead by a great cast which includes Jay Hernandez, Dennis Quaid and Cheech Marin. Cheech was overall one of my favorites. There is a touch of humor throughout and even some moments that will give you goosebumps.
Great reminder of how far we have come and how much farther we still need to go in the world today. Highly recommend.
