Second Chances [1998] Eng

Based on a true story, "Second Chances" is the uplifting tale of a little girl's physical and emotional reawakening after a car crash claims her father--and her spirit. The accident leaves 10-year-old Sunny Mathews (award-winning child actress Kelsey Mulrooney) unable to walk without crutches, but this damage pales in comparison to her emotional wounds, which cause her to withdraw from everyone around her--and from life. Miraculously, things begin to change when Sunny and her mother Kathleen (Isabel Glasser of "Pure Country" and "Forever Young") move next door to a horse ranch run by one-time rodeo star Ben Taylor (Tom Amandes of "The Long Kiss Goodnight"). Sunny's recovery begins as she develops an affinity for Ben and a love for a mean-spirited, crippled horse named Ginger. This inspirational family film also stars Academy Award-winning actor Stuart Whitman and Academy Award nominees Theodore Bikel and Terry Moore, plus Charles Shaughnessy and Madeline Zima from television's "The Nanny."
