The Long Game

Set against the rigid segregation of 1950s Texas, The Long Game follows five Mexican-American teenage caddies who are barred from playing on the country club course where they labor. Undeterred, they band together, fashioning a one-hole course in the fields and honing their skills through grit, friendship, and fierce determination. The film chronicles their journey from overlooked laborers to contenders, capturing the small acts of defiance and the deep bonds that propel them forward.

Their uphill battle culminates in an astonishing run to the 1957 Texas State championship, a triumph that reshapes expectations and breaks racial barriers in a sport long closed to them. Uplifting and heartfelt, The Long Game blends sports drama with social history, celebrating courage, community, and the power of perseverance in the face of entrenched injustice. Based on a true story.
