Join us as we sit down with lawyer, pro golfer, and author Humberto Garcia, whose first book Mustang Miracle has been been turned into a big-screen adaptation.
Based on a true story set in mid-1950s Texas, it follows five young Mexican-American caddies at a local, exclusive golf club overcome the challenges of racism and discrimination to win a state golf championship.
In this conversation, we look back on how he happened to discover this inspiring story that was almost lost to history and what it’s like to see his words come to life in a film. We learn how it has given him a deeper understanding of the realities of the migrant experience, which has shaped and influence the kinds of stories he continues to tell.
