Trailer released for 'The Miracle Season,' remembering former Iowa City West volleyball player Caroline Found
Dargan SouthardThe first glimpse has been released.
The trailer for “The Miracle Season” — a movie remembering the tragic 2011 death of Iowa City West volleyball player Caroline Found and the Trojans’ improbable march to the state title that season — was released Thursday morning. The film will debut in theaters on April 13, according to an LD Entertainment tweet.
Found, a senior setter for the Trojans, was killed in a moped accident in August 2011, just before West was set to begin its quest for a second consecutive title. Her death reverberated across the volleyball community, sparking the #LiveLikeLine movement that permeated throughout the state and gained national attention as well.
The movie, which was announced in May 2016, stars Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt as West volleyball coach Kathy Bresnahan, while Danika Yarosh will play Found. The movie’s entire cast can be viewed here.
