Synopsis
Dream Horse (2021) is a Welsh feel-good drama you can watch online on iFILM, and it really happened. Jan Vokes, a supermarket cashier who also pulls pints at the local pub, decides to breed a racehorse on a budget that barely covers groceries.
Jan (Toni Collette) talks a dozen neighbours into chipping in a few quid each, and together they raise a foal named Dream Alliance on a slag heap behind their houses. None of them know a thing about racing. The colt, against every odd, starts beating horses owned by the rich. Owen Teale plays her steady husband; Damian Lewis is the cautious accountant who gambled on the whole mad scheme.
Director Euros Lyn keeps the lens on a fading mining village pinning its hopes on one animal rather than on the trophies themselves. Good for anyone who wants a true underdog story without the sugar. Stream Dream Horse online on iFILM.
