Kiwi Flyer

Every summer, kids of all ages flock to Nelson, New Zealand, to compete in the annual trolley derby. Twelve-year-old Ben comes from a long line of derby competitors: his grandfather was a champion, while his father tried his best and never gave up, even though he lost year after year. When his father passes away in a tragic accident, Ben decides to honor his memory by making his dream trolley design, the Kiwi Flyer, a reality and winning the big race himself. But when neighborhood bullies threaten the Flyer's chances, Ben is forced to make a decision: give up before the race even starts, or follow his father's example and give it his best shot, no matter the odds.
