Running For Jim

This award-winning film chronicles the story of Jim Tracy, the deeply dedicated, brutally honest and tough-love coach of the San Francisco University High School cross-country team. “Running for Jim” explores how Jim, once a competitive runner, now faces the greatest challenge of his life: battling Lou Gehrig's disease.

My take

A portrait of resilience that hits different. Watch a legendary coach confront his mortality while inspiring the next generation—it's moving without being sentimental, powerful without demanding tears.
