Dave

Running time: 94 mins

Winner - Kaiser Permanente Thrive Award All you need is one person to believe in you.

Estranged from his father, Adam grittily made himself into a college basketball star. Eschewing a college coaching job for a small town high school, Adam spots Dave, an intellectually handicapped, fatherless giant of a man-child, who has never played a game of basketball in his life.

Adam channels his unbridled fortitude into making Dave not only into a player, but also into graduating. And as Adam mentors Dave in basketball and in life, they both strive to achieve the seemingly impossible - reconciliation with the fathers they barely know. Sharing humor and pathos, Dave is a testament to the resiliency and strength of the human spirit.
