Movie: Undefeated.

I got a chance to check out 'Undefeated' and I'd recommended for football and non-football fans alike. It's truly an inspirational story. It follows a high school football team from a poor town in North Memphis and shows how tough kids in Memphis have it. The majority of the boys came from single parents or were being raised by a grandparent. It focuses on a coach that helps the kids mature and believe in themselves.  Along the way the movie captures some sad moments in the kids lives and how they work hard to bounce back. It is not so much a football movie as it is a social commentary on the disparity between kids in America.  People in the theater were cheering and I couldn't help but be moved by some of the scenes.  It was the best sports documentary I have seen in recent years. Go watch it!
