Full disclosure: I appear in this film. Director Mary Mazzio profiles 4 students from a West Phoenix neighborhood and their two coaches who competed in a sophisticated underwater robotics tournament and won, against all odds. From there, the movie explores the lives of undocumented families living in Phoenix. This engaging and honest biography is a must-see. Please let me know what you think! - Julie Cameron, daughter of Dr. Allan Cameron
