Running for Grace

Running for Grace (2018) is a family melodrama set in 1920s Hawaii you can watch online on iFILM. Joe is a mixed-race orphan taken in by the village doctor after his parents die. Fast on his feet, he becomes Doc's medicine runner, covering the steep mountain roads that the coffee pickers rely on.

On one delivery he runs into Grace — the plantation owner's daughter — and that's where the trouble starts. Her father sees a poor kid of mixed descent and draws a hard line. Directed by David L. Cunningham, with Ryan Potter, Matt Dillon, and James Caviezel, this is the kind of period romance that earns its sentiment through grit rather than charm. Watch Running for Grace online on iFILM.
