The Shining Star of Losers Everywhere (2016)
In Japanese, Haru Urara means “Glorious Spring.” But as this 30 for 30 Short, directed by Mickey Duzyj, makes delightfully clear, the name means a great deal more to the Japanese people. Haru Urara was a thoroughbred mare who never won a race. She first came to the public’s attention after her 88th straight loss at troubled Kochi Racetrack, then picked up more and more supporters with each defeat. With her pink Hello Kitty patches, she became a symbol of hope in Japan. And though she never did win, Haru Urara did accomplish something greater: she saved the racetrack.

Awesome Movie
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
