The inspiring true-life adventure of a courageous young rebel who defied the odds...and won. Sonora Webster, a runaway in the thirties, desperately wants to be a diving girl- a girl who rides on a diving horse, as it drops, from a forty-foot platform, into a deep pool of water. She finally achieves her dreams and gains the respect she deserves. One day she starts a dive in Atlantic City, but the horse gets spooked by the noise, and Sonora leaves her eyes open as she enters the water. She doesn't realize it at first, but the impact of the water, caused the retina in both eyes to detach, which will leave her blind. She vows to dive again even with her new disability. To the amazment of all around, she defies the odds and dives again, blind. "Dare To Live Your Dreams" - Sonora Webster
This has been a favorite movie of my sisters and mine since we were kids. Now our children love it too. Great movie of the courage and persistence of a young girl. I think boys would like it too since she does really dangerous horse tricks.

This has been my favorite movie ever since it came out. So much in fact, that I decided to use it as my topic for a speech class. Unfortunately, during my research I found out that only two or three of the events in the movie actually took place and those were stretched from the truth also. But it is not a documentary and all in all a great story line and very entertaining. Just don't make the same mistake I did and assume that most of this stuff actually happened to Sonora!
I actually haven't been able to view this particular format, I don't own a VHS.
