A good film.
Film based on a true story about a high school football team at a newly integrated high school in Virginia, America in the early 70s where black and white kids are able to play football together for the first time, and the struggles of their coach (played by Denzel Washington) to overcome the prejudices of his white and black football players towards one another as well as prejudices in the wider community. Usually when I see `based on a true story' at the start of a film I think `uh-oh' but this film thankfully did not pander to the clichés often found in such films and delivered a satisfactory moral tale - tempered with tragedy - that was not overly sentimental, as well as a satisfying ending to boot. Denzel Washington is as ever excellent as the coach standing up to not just white but also black prejudice and it is also good to see Hayden Panettiere - as Denzel Washington's assistant coach's young daughter - in a pre-Heroes role. A good film.
