What a wonderful movie. This is for middel schoolers and up. Being able to reach for the gold. Fall down and get up, don't blame anyone but yourself. Figure it out! NO WHINNING! NO CRYING! With so few people to look up to for the youth, and to many pompus athelets who are paid way to much money. These are the folks my child will look up to. All three of our children are involved in sports. There is no quitting. This movie embodies this attitude. Don't be a quitter. Forfill your commitments in life. Push forward and give back. Or the best expression, PAY IT FORWARD. An orphanage is given money, clothes, beds & more important than anything, their time. WOW a must see!

What Parents Need to Know
About Dust to Glory
Parents need to know that although it's a documentary, many kids will be interested in this story of an annual off-road motor race along Mexico's Baja peninsula. Filled with swooping camera angles, race action and, yes, dust, there are no villains in this telling, just noble competitors, and for most of them winning is secondary to the thrill of just being in the race itself. There is brief profanity, and we hear about some fatalities (although we do not see them). The film does make it clear that the sport is dangerous and not easy. Strong messages include the volunteer efforts behind putting the race together and the selflessness of the participants. Also worth noting are the family relationships strengthened by the contest. Some teams are fathers and sons; others are brothers, and one team, the only females depicted at length, are racing wives and mothers who have gotten together in a team of their own.
