Remember the Titans

My favorite movie would have to be Remember the Titans. This movie takes place in the early 1970's in a small town in Virginia. A white high school football coach must step down and turn his job over to a black coach as the high school and his team are now integrated with another black school in the community. The players on this team must learn to work together and learn how to play as a "team". The practice season has started and the team goes off to camp and that is where they learn how to play together and leave all the racial tension behind. When they return back to school, now they must face the community who is still against the idea of two different races attending the same school let alone playing on the same football team.

 I Love how this movie portrays how strong friendship can be and how easily it can change lives. The team goes on to a undefeated season and is the first mixed race team in Virginia to win a state championship.
