Angela's Neighborhood

Times are challenging right now so I’m leaning even more than ever on - I don’t like the term “feel good” movies - movies that show us how we can be better humans, and this one fits the bill. Based on a true story about a man who belongs to a family of migrant farm workers and dreams of being an astronaut. He achieves his goal with the help of financial sacrifices from his family, words of encouragement from a dedicated teacher, the love and support of his wife, and his own drive and persistence. “Tenacity is a super-power.” It’s a sweet film.

I love this show. Renner is committed to helping people in need, plus he’s an engineer at heart so it’s fun to see how the crew comes up with solutions to complicated design challenges. I hope there’s a second season.
