The inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes. With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community.

From 9x BAFTA award winning director Euros Lyn, and 2x Writers’ Guild of Great Britain award winning screenwriter Neil McKay! Starring Gotham Awards winner Toni Collette, and Emmy Awards winner Damian Lewis!

“a lump-in-your-throat, put-a-smile-on-your-face, stand-up-and-cheer, and sometimes hold-on-for-dear-life underdog movie…finds righteous, authentic beats, led by Collette’s approachable, relatable performance, some flat-out exciting horse races, and featuring Wales as the backdrop…it’s a lovely time at the movies.” (Phoenix Film Festival)

“with strong performances by Toni Collette and Damian Lewis the odds are that you’ll love it…I couldn’t help enjoying it: like Chariots of Fire, only with horses…This movie gets a real gallop on, due to the sheer warmth of its performances.” (The Guardian)

“Dream Horse is a rousing, emotional film that earns its cheers and tears without ignoring real-life logic.” (Radio Times)

“Warm, well-paced and a wonderfully satisfying watch…This film merges everything enjoyable about underdog sports films with the spirited working class comedies we all know and love” (Film Ireland)
