This is an incredibly moving documentary about the plane crash that wiped out an entire football team and coaching staff. Such an incredibly sad event, followed by the brave stories of how the loved ones dealt with the tragedy. My heart absolutely melted.
My favorite basketball coach (Mike D'Antoni) I think was supposed to be on this plane along with his brother, Dan D'Antoni. For some reason they didn't get on the plane that day, and have some interesting stories about this event. They both attended Marshall.
I've heard this is more accurate than the movie "We Are Marshall", which I have not seen.
I definitely suggest this movie. It will probably make you cry, so be ready.

Perfect Effort

Perfect Effort is an inside look at De La Salle High School Football and the greatest winning streak in the history of American sports. read more...

This is actually about a high school football team and as far as motivational movies go it's one of the best I've seen. If you're looking for something to show your team to get them pumped, this is it!!
It's about the football program at De La Salle H.S. and it chronicles their winning streak of 151 games.... the longest ever recorded for any sport? i think....
Lot's of motivational speeches from the coach and great locker room moments. Not tons of football action, but definitely lot's of great moments from the players and coaches, and lot's of insight into why they were so darn successful.
I recommend this movie for everyone and everyone. It's touching and moving for all ages!
