In 1956, JB Peña and his wife moved to the small town of Del Rio, TX, partly for a job as a school superintendent, but mostly to fulfill JB's dream of joining the prestigious, all-white Del Rio Country Club. So when JB is rejected on the basis of his skin color, he is devastated. But his world soon collides with a group of young Latino golf caddies who work at the country club, and JB is inspired by the handmade course the boys built in the country to teach themselves golf. With little experience and even fewer resources, JB convinces the boys to start their own high school golf team, starting them all on a journey where they learn that it takes more than just golf skills to make history. Based on Mustang Miracle by Humberto G. Garcia.

very very well done movie and a great story, especially since its true. I did not know this story and Im glad that I do now. Its always hard to watch movies where there are people not treated fairly and in this case it was Mexicans or Latinos. it is also a story of working hard, staying consistent and having to turn the other cheek when its in your best interest in the end, earning respect through displaying dignity and grace.

It was a very good show. Well written, didnt bounce around. It was engaging and kept your attention. It provided good insight into the racial struggles of the Hispanic population.

When you look at the big picture, at stories like the breakthrough of the San Felipe Mustangs, films like The Long Game become treasured archives. Noble missions. A reason to watch.

Variety

Winner of an audience award at the 2023 SXSW film fest, “The Long Game” is an utterly predictable yet thoroughly engaging period drama.

"The Long Game” demonstrates in satisfying ways how nothing in life can stop individuals who have spent time practicing how to get out of bunkers.

Directed and co-written by Julio Quintana, The Long Game exploits easy sentimentality to gain political advantage.

Jay Hernandez is fantastic as a coach who won't give up on these boys [his players] and tries to lead them into a brighter future. It's a heartwarming, true story of underdogs and how they come together to overcome adversity.

Rated: 8/10
