Film Festival--Racing Dreams

I went to the film festival and saw the movie, Racing Dreams. It was about three kids that dream of being a race car driver. Two boys and one girl compete to be the national champion of their age group. The movie was really good and kept my attention the whole time. It was actually really funny and had some sad moments as well. I thought watching a documentary would be a little wierd or boring, but it was very interesting. Each kid had their own story within the movie that was followed and I particlularly felt for the boy whose father and mother were not around much for him so he was raised by his grandparents. One of the kids, Josh Hobson, was actually at the movie with us and talked to the people in the theater right before the movie started! It was neat to see him and then watch him on the screen. Afterward he stayed and answered questions about the movie. It was obvious that he is still racing and that this film was a few years old because he looked around 14-15 and in the film he was 11. He and the other boy actually won the national championship in their age group.
