Summary:
In 1973, a spiritual awakening captured the heart of nearly every player of the Woodlawn High School football team, including its coach Tandy Gerelds. Their dedication to love and unity in a school filled with racism and hate leads to the largest high school football game ever played in the torn city of Birmingham, Alabama, and the rise of its first African American superstar, Tony Nathan. "Sports and religion are a potent combination..."--Hollywood Reporter "...the overall narrative mix of history lesson, gridiron action and spiritual uplift is effectively and satisfyingly sustained."--Variety "...the Erwin brothers have made an effor, parochially speaking, to go outside the lines."--Los Angeles Times
