ABOUT THE FILM: Jacob Sanchez, a young and determined Latino figure skater in a sport that lacks diversity and has plenty of stigmas and challenges, uses his talent, perseverance, and passion to push himself to become a Junior Olympics star—and now he has set his sights on the 2026 Olympics in Milan. This documentary sparks conversations about diversity, determination, and the unbreakable bonds of family in the pursuit of one’s dreams, meanwhile showcasing the profound love and dedication of Jacob’s parents and his extraordinary coaches, former-Olympians themselves [Oleg Makarov, Larisa Selezneva], who have become instrumental in shaping his talent.
