For those of you who read my blog
about Silent Night (from January 2), you might be interested in another
movie based on a true story with Hawaiian connections.
Race
the Sun was made in 1996 and tells
the story of a group of 1990 Hawaiian High School students who build a solar
car. They are encouraged and inspired by their teacher (played by Halle Berry.) They win their local
competition and earn a trip to the 1990 World Solar Challenge in Australia for
a competition.
James
Belushi and Casey Affleck (Ben’s younger
brother) also star in this movie
that encourages kids to believe they can accomplish their dreams. The misfit
group of troubled kids runs into many roadblocks and pitfalls during the
six-day race.
I enjoyed this funny, entertaining
movie very much, and when I read the Amazon reviews, discovered I wasn’t the
only one!
Want a great family night movie? Get
hold of Race the Sun and enjoy!
