If I Had Wings (2013) Synopsis

Determined to run for his high school's cross-country team, 16-year-old runner Alex Taylor, seems to indulge himself with an out-of-reach aspiration, as young Alex has been blind since he was 2. Under those circumstances, his father Geoff Taylor, a probation officer, strikes up a deal with an unlikely running partner: troubled youth Brad Coleman, an exceptional runner who, unfortunately, squanders his talent running away from the law. As the two boys work together to overcome not only the prejudices of the coach and bullying from the track team, a fragile but genuine bond starts to form. Will Alex and Brad make their dream come true?—Nick Riganas
