Running for Grace (2018) on Netflix

Plot summary

The Kona Coffee Belt of 1920s Hawaii is split between the Japanese laborers who work the coffee and the white plantation class, and Jo, an orphan of mixed-race lineage, belongs to neither. Doc, a physician newly arrived from the mainland, is hired to care for the plantation's workers and puts the boy to work fetching medicine and translating on his rounds. Ten years on, Jo loves Grace, Mr. Danielson's daughter. The two meet at the Danielson home under cover of treatment for her ankle. Doc has also been meeting a lawyer in Hilo, hoping to adopt Jo, which the law then forbade for a mixed-race child.
