The Long Game, inspired by the book Mustang Miracle written by Humberto G. Garcia, follows the true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955 who created their own golf course in the middle of the South Texas brush country. Despite outdated and inferior equipment and no professional instruction to begin with, they would go on to compete against wealthy, all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.
The movie, starring Dennis Quaid, Jay Hernandez and Cheech Marin and written by Eagle Passan Paco Farías, has been awaiting official release for quite some time now and will low see the light of day across South Texas on 800 screens.
“I think it’s going to be everywhere along south Texas. 800 screens,” said Farias. The wait is over. The Long Game is coming to South Texas!
