Directed by Academy Award winner Denzel Washington, the movie is based on actual events that took place in 1970-1971. A white southern high school is integrated with black students from a nearby school. Both schools are recognized for their football programs which are now unified. Denzel Washington, a black, is chosen to be the head coach of the integrated team, leaving the previous white head coach with feelings of animosity at having to be an assistant under a black man. A plot very carefully created in the Movie.
