There is something special about a “feel good” movie especially in today’s turbulent times. It’s good to see someone succeed. If the movie involves animals, then I am all in!  "Dark Horse" is a wonderful documentary that provides a fascinating story about a couple living in Wales who decided to breed a Thoroughbred. Born on a coal slagheap, the horse named Dream Alliance carried the hopes and dreams of their small syndicate from a gentlemen’s club in coal mining country to the Grand National horse race at Aintree.
