HOUSTON – ‘Blue Miracle’ is the incredible true story of Casa Hogar, a Mexican boys home in Cabo San Lucas that entered the world’s biggest fishing tournament to try and save their orphanage after it was damaged in a hurricane in 2014.
Omar (played by Jimmy Gonzales) is the director of the orphanage, and is forced into teaming up with the grizzly, washed-up, previous tournament winner Wade (Dennis Quaid) who reluctantly lets him and some of the kids on the boat, to go for that $250,000 prize.
The story is incredible, as well as Jimmy’s tie into his role: he actually grew up in foster care himself, so this movie really hit home for him.
‘Blue Miracle’ is currently streaming on Netflix.
