Julie Checkoway chronicles the remarkable journey of a group of impoverished children from Maui’s sugar plantations who transformed themselves into world-class athletes. Under the guidance of visionary coach Soichi Sakamoto, these youngsters utilized irrigation ditches as training grounds to challenge the prevailing racial and socioeconomic barriers of the 1930s.
