A sequel to two earlier documentaries about the birth of dragon boat racing in South Florida, the film follows the efforts of Miami boat leader Kim Bonomo, herself a survivor, to expand the movement with new teams throughout the state and her campaign to make Florida the host of the Fourth International Participatory Dragon Boat Festival. It's an emotional journey that tells the stories of several Latina women diagnosed with advanced stage cancer and their desperate struggle for survival. Their stories speak to a widespread problem in the Hispanic population where women tend to seek breast scans much later than other groups. The stories build to the international race event in Sarasota, the first of its kind in the United States. Thousands of survivors from around the globe celebrate the sisterhood of dragon boaters, a community of support that is helping women overcome the challenges of cancer.
