Synopsis: In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach from North Carolina. Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions are eased during the two-week training camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. When players returned to Alexandria the players found the city in turmoil due to the forced desegregation of the high school. As the season progresses the team's success caused the community to accept the changes. After the Titans' perfect season, the team and the city were closer than ever. (Based on a True Story)
My Comments (5/5): Seen this show during my NS movie night at Taiwan, just before out final Out-Field Test. A powerful inspirational film that talks about teamwork and brotherhood, working together despite differences. I know it touched me real deep inside and tears were at nose level, but I force myself not to show emotions in front of my men, haa. It was the right show at the right moment, that relates so much to our situation then. I even remember my men humming to the tune while our long and tiring 6hrs Full-Battle Order Road March to battle objective.
