Plot:
A black man is hired to coach a high school football team in Virginia during the early 70's. Racism is high, and many white players threaten to sit out until he is replaced. During training camp, the white and black players learn how to get along and even become friends. The Titans go undefeated through a season of turmoil and confusion. Just before the state championship, the captain gets in a car crash and can't play. Can they still win the match? IMDB

Review:
I really like this movie. (Fredrik doesn't like it because he thinks it down plays the racial complexities.) But I like it. I think they made their point well enough while keeping to the plot.

A good family movie and true story.
