VHS Movie Reviews of A Shining Season
Movie Review: track fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie made the sport of track and field interesting, and did a great job of showing what drives runners to run. It was also a moving tale of a young man at the height of his potential, struck down by cancer. It is a well done film and a tear-jerker.
