About this Movie
Hood River
In a small Oregon community, a high school soccer team struggles to overcome their class and racial divides in a quest for both individual and team success. While leading striker Domingo deals with the sudden deportation of his father to Mexico, the defense stalwart Eric painfully learns how to become a captain and earn the respect of his Mexican-American teammates. Meanwhile, Coach Riviera, himself a local of Mexican descent, struggles to keep the team together amidst the pressure of academics and athletics. This coming-of-age film, set against the backdrop of a segregated American town, focuses on the friendship and maturation of these characters.
