This movie is about a newly appointed African American football coach over the highly successful white coach to coach the team where the school is not racially integrated. The idea of an African American coaching the team was not accepted even though he was equally as successful as the other coach.
Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. This film is based on a true story and takes place in the USA. Even though this film is based on a true story not all scenes are actually true but i still really like this film and have watched it a few times. Some of the characters are not real but are fictional.
The message that this film projects is a strong one and like "Do The Right Thing" acceptance and racism are themes in both films but that's all i think they have in common.
At the start the African Americans didn't want to play in the same team as the white guys and vice versa.
After a two week training camp which brought the guys together they returned to find that the community was 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.
