Building family relationships is the focus of other films, such as the horseracing story of Virginia’s Run (also produced by Knightscove Entertainment). In an effort to gain the love of her grandfather, a young Maori girl embraces the heritage he hold so dear in Whale Rider. A father and son struggle to find common ground after the boy’s passion for building rockets comes between them in the movie October Sky.
