If you are looking for an amazing and heartfelt story - based on real life events - then you have to check out ‘A Million Miles Away’, starring Michael Pena. Pena portrays Jose Hernandez, born to migrant workers in California, who kept moving from place to place for work; so he never had a steady, stable life. That is, until he meets a particular teacher in school who realizes the amount of potential he has as a student. She convinces the parents to settle down in one place so Jose can focus on his studies. He does and goes on to be the first in his family to attend college and dreams of becoming an astronaut. He eventually gets married and begins applying to NASA, only to be turned down year after year until he perseveres and finally gets in. That will be when his life changes forever.
This is a great, inspiring film that everyone should see. Highly recommend and I hope that Pena gets recognition for his outstanding performance!
