Description
Summary:Focusing on their hopes and aspirations,this upbeat film movingly shows how the rigorous training helps to produce more than just muscle, but a positive self-identity and pride. A young man returns to his community after college and decides to do something about the alcoholism, drugs and teen pregnancies he sees everywhere. He starts a girls track club for ages 6-16, and instilling the spirit of "I CAN", The Flashettes becomes more than a team, but a second family, building self-confidence and self-respect for its members. "A classic inspirational film that provides valuable lessons about dealing with disappointment, keeping hope, being persistent, handling trouble and developing self discipline." - Patricia Priesing, Voice of Youth Advocates
