00:12:37,882 --> 00:12:47,809
N'?
184
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:57,902
N'?
185
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:01,322
Mornin'.
186
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:03,157
In whose world?
187
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:12,041
(Coach)
I am Coach Gerelds.
188
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:16,087
I love football and not science,
so please pay attention
189
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:19,048
while I give you
all the answers.
190
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,758
Okay, let's get started.
191
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:22,677
Hey, you gonna quit?
192
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,387
Why?
193
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:27,724
It's what y'all do.
194
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:29,434
[knocking]
195
00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:31,144
Come in.
196
00:13:31,853 --> 00:13:34,022
(Hank)
Hey, Coach.
197
00:13:34,105 --> 00:13:37,150
I'm Hank.
198
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:39,152
So, you're making plays?
199
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:40,820
Mm-hmm.
200
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:41,821
Yeah.
201
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:44,699
Look, I know you're a busy man,
so I'll get right to the point.
202
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:47,243
I'd like to have a meeting
with your football team.
203
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:48,953
About what?
204
00:13:49,037 --> 00:13:51,622
Jesus Christ.
205
00:13:51,706 --> 00:13:53,499
[chuckles]
206
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:55,710
Oh, wow, what are you, some
kind of preacher or something?
207
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:57,837
No, no, not a preacher.
208
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,922
I'm a sports chaplain,
actually.
209
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:02,842
I like to find different
teams to work with.
210
00:14:02,925 --> 00:14:04,052
I just wanna talk to 'em.
211
00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:07,138
Well, I'm sorry, Hank,
but you can't.
212
00:14:10,725 --> 00:14:12,268
You know this
is a public school?
213
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:13,561
(Hank)
Yeah.
214
00:14:13,644 --> 00:14:14,645
Yeah, I know.
215
00:14:14,729 --> 00:14:18,983
Look, I've seen some things
all over the country.
216
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:22,987
I've seen amazing things.
217
00:14:23,071 --> 00:14:26,032
Well, you are
not gonna see them here.
218
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:28,868
I think your players
could use it.
219
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:30,078
I think you could too.
220
00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:32,622
Listen, Hank, if my team
needs something,
221
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:34,707
I will tell you.
222
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:44,092
[students chattering]
223
00:14:44,175 --> 00:14:46,719
[chains rattling]
224
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:53,518
[chatter on police radio]
225
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,521
Wait up, Johnnie.
226
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:57,772
(Tony)
So, who is she?
227
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,149
(male #4)
Her name Johnnie, I told you.
228
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,442
(Tony)
That's her real name?
229
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,361
That's the name
she go by.
230
00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:06,447
If you're so curious, why
don't you just ask her yourself?
231
00:15:08,991 --> 00:15:12,161
Of course, that would
require you to actually talk,
232
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:14,872
or ride the bus
with the rest of us.
233
00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:16,582
I talk.
234
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:18,960
She don't even
know you exist.
235
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:20,336
Nobody does.
236
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,463
How she gonna see
what's invisible?
237
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:23,673
Reggie...
238
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,174
[police siren wailing]
239
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:30,513
[shouting and yelling]
240
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:41,149
N'?
241
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:43,860
Hey, break it up!
242
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:48,114
Break it up, now!
243
00:15:48,197 --> 00:15:58,124
N'?
244
00:15:58,207 --> 00:16:02,879
N'?
245
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,882
I expect you to control
your school, son!
246
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,508
Five hundred kids
247
00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:09,760
getting bussed to a place
every day they don't wanna be.
248
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:11,429
Twenty-five hundred kids
don't want 'em here.
249
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:13,264
What did you think
was gonna happen?
250
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:15,266
What's he talking for?
He ain't got a right here.
251
00:16:15,349 --> 00:16:16,517
[men shouting] - I'm not gonna stand here--
- Let me deal with it.
252
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:18,311
I don't have to stand here
and be berated
253
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:19,312
by this gentleman.
254
00:16:19,395 --> 00:16:20,897
- Coach!
- I'm not done!
255
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:22,940
COACH!
I could arrange that!
256
00:16:23,024 --> 00:16:25,026
Now, who do you
think you are?
257
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:26,694
Oh yeah, you're
the assistant principal.
258
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:29,113
Only reason you are that is
'cause we ain't got nobody else.
259
00:16:29,197 --> 00:16:32,200
Now, if you're done, I got
something to say to you.
260
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:38,789
The national spotlight is off
our city first time in a decade,
261
00:16:38,873 --> 00:16:40,458
so I think it's time
our town
262
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:42,335
came to its right
and proper balance.
263
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:47,173
And if that means closing
the doors to this school,
264
00:16:47,256 --> 00:16:49,258
well, so be it.
265
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:55,556
We've stayed.
266
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,309
While others have left,
we've stayed.
267
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:01,395
And we stayed because
we love this school.
268
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:06,192
This school has been
an enduring beacon
269
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:09,987
to this city for many years,
and we all know that.
270
00:17:10,071 --> 00:17:11,614
Now, do you really
want its final legacy
271
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:15,701
to be failed integration?
272
00:17:15,785 --> 00:17:18,621
What would that do?
273
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:22,124
Why don't you tell me
about that, sir?
274
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:26,379
All right, Tandy,
I'll tell you.
275
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:29,549
If there is
one more incident...
276
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:31,259
...you're done.
277
00:17:31,801 --> 00:17:34,512
Both of you.
278
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:37,139
Y'all have a nice day.
279
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:38,891
Thank you, Gene.
You too.
280
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:40,601
(Gene)
Mm-hmm.
281
00:17:41,102 --> 00:17:42,019
[phone ringing]
282
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:43,729
Comm“.!
283
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:47,608
Hello?
284
00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:49,235
(Tandy on phone)
Hey, babe.
285
00:17:49,318 --> 00:17:51,237
Hey, oh, hey, listen,
Todd's got a Pop Warner game
286
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,947
now on Saturday at 3 p.m.
287
00:17:53,030 --> 00:17:54,574
Now, you tell me
you're gonna be there.
288
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:55,992
Look, something happened.
I'm okay, but--
289
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:57,243
(Tandy's wife)
What happened?
290
00:17:57,326 --> 00:17:58,494
What always happens.
291
00:17:58,578 --> 00:17:59,495
(Tandy's wife)
How bad?
292
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:02,582
Six went to the hospital.
Knives mostly.
293
00:18:03,374 --> 00:18:04,292
(Tafldys wife)
You Okay?
294
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:06,627
Let's go, Tandy.
295
00:18:06,711 --> 00:18:08,713
Tandy, are you okay?
296
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,633
I gotta go.
Yeah, I'm okay. Bye.
297
00:18:12,717 --> 00:18:14,677
Hey, Coach.
298
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,387
Can I talk to the team now?
299
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:18,014
Look, I don't have time
to deal with this right now.
300
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,015
Tandy, let's go.
Tandy, now!
301
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,349
Coach!
302
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:22,602
This is what I do.
I help people.
303
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,562
You know what?
You have five minutes.
304
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:26,188
After training in the gym.
305
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:27,940
You talk to Stearns.
You better be good.
306
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:29,650
Now!
307
00:18:29,859 --> 00:18:31,402
Can I get an introduction?
308
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:33,112
No.
309
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,615
All right, guys,
let's settle down.
310
00:18:35,698 --> 00:18:36,949
Bring it in.
Guys.
311
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:38,534
Hey, hey!
Settle down.
312
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:41,787
We have a motivational speaker
here, if you guys don't mind.
313
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:43,414
Hey, guys.
314
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:45,124
[banging]
315
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:49,295
I got it.
316
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:51,005
Good luck.
317
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:58,554
(Hank) Hey, everybody.
My name's Hank.
318
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:00,181
Hey, Hank.
319
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:03,184
I'm not a coach.
I'm not a teacher.
320
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:05,353
I'm not a counselor.
321
00:19:05,436 --> 00:19:09,940
In fact, nobody asked me
to come here today.
322
00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:13,402
But I look at what happened
this afternoon, and I think,
323
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,946
"Aren't you sick of it?"
324
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,615
I mean, I'm sick of it.
325
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,284
I'm not even from here,
but does this kind of thing
326
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:26,582
happen so much
that it just feels normal?
327
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:30,294
I mean, you don't know me,
you've never seen me before,
328
00:19:30,378 --> 00:19:33,589
but what would you say if I
told you that 100% without fail,
329
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:36,300
it doesn't have to be this way?
330
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:45,476
Birmingham has seen
nothing but hate for so long,
331
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:49,230
it has lost its ability
to believe.
332
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:51,982
It's lost hope.
333
00:19:52,066 --> 00:19:54,610
Let me tell you
what Jesus said.
334
00:19:54,694 --> 00:20:01,701
He said, "I am the way,
I am the truth, I am the life."
335
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:05,037
And that means something to me
336
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:09,583
because I let it mean
something to me.
337
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:13,754
I'll tell you something else
that seems crazy, only it's not.
338
00:20:13,838 --> 00:20:15,464
I love you.
339
00:20:15,548 --> 00:20:19,135
I care about you,
each and every one of you.
340
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:22,346
I care about what you've seen.
341
00:20:22,430 --> 00:20:27,977
I care about what
you've been through.
342
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:32,648
I care about your pain.
343
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:33,941
So does God.
344
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:36,527
Jerry, what's going on?
I said 5 minutes.
345
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,154
He's been here
for an hour.
346
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:39,363
We need to wrap this up.
347
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:41,991
Tandy, hold on, man.
348
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,367
Man, I know
this sounds crazy,
349
00:20:43,451 --> 00:20:46,746
but just give
the guy a chance.
350
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:49,999
We ain't got
nothing else to lose.
351
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,752
You don't know me,
but I'm asking you anyway
352
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:56,589
to stand up right now,
right here,
353
00:20:56,672 --> 00:20:58,966
and make a decision...
354
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:01,844
...a decision to change,
to forgive,
355
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:06,932
to be forgiven
no matter what you've done.
356
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,437
That's how much God loves you.
357
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,984
I'm asking you
to choose Jesus.
358
00:21:19,528 --> 00:21:23,324
Can you do that?
359
00:21:23,407 --> 00:21:25,409
Will you do that...
360
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:33,375
...with me, right now?
361
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:42,968
N'?
362
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:44,720
Thank you.
363
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:54,730
N'?
364
00:21:54,814 --> 00:22:04,740
N'?
365
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:07,618
Brave men.
366
00:22:07,868 --> 00:22:12,868
N'?
367
00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:26,095
What just happened?
368
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:35,271
Where have you been?
369
00:22:36,939 --> 00:22:38,566
The gym.
370
00:22:38,649 --> 00:22:40,651
And what happened
at the gym?
371
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:51,745
I let an untrained religious nut
convert the whole team.
372
00:22:51,829 --> 00:22:54,707
I'm going to bed.
373
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,293
The whole team.
374
00:23:01,797 --> 00:23:02,923
Is that good or bad?
375
00:23:03,007 --> 00:23:04,967
(Tandy)
I don't know.
376
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:05,300
N'?
377
00:23:05,301 --> 00:23:14,643
N'?
378
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:16,270
(Tandy)
Birmingham Post Herald
379
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:19,356
believes something
about this team.
380
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,067
They believe we're
only gonna win two games.
381
00:23:22,151 --> 00:23:25,529
They believe that this season
is the death rattle
382
00:23:25,613 --> 00:23:29,033
of a school that is
barely able to stay alive.
383
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:31,952
You see, I don't believe this
for a minute.
384
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:35,456
I believe that we are
the masters of our own fate.
385
00:23:35,539 --> 00:23:40,377
I believe that we can prove
these people wrong.
386
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:42,588
Why don't you go out there
and show me
387
00:23:42,671 --> 00:23:44,548
what you all believe?
388
00:23:44,632 --> 00:23:46,258
Let's go do it!

00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:50,971

Play our boys!
392
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,186
Come on, Tandy!
393
00:23:58,479 --> 00:24:00,522
(male #5)
Just no win.
394
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:04,026
Puts them black boys in,
we riot.
395
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:05,653
He doesn't, they riot.
396

Bring 'em in, bring 'em in,
bring 'em in!
399
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,082
Bring 'em in!

[cheering]

00:24:22,336 --> 00:24:23,963
(Tony's mother)
Play our boys, Tandy!
402
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:25,881
I know you hear me!
403
00:24:25,965 --> 00:24:28,008
Hey, sit down
and shut up!
404
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:30,219
(Tony's father) Hey, don't
talk to my wife like that.
405
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,262
You don't talk to
my wife like that.
406
00:24:32,346 --> 00:24:33,889
I don't expect you to win,
407
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:36,433
but I expect you
to keep things quiet.
408
00:24:36,517 --> 00:24:38,394
(Tandy)
It's not my fault, Owen.
409
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:39,812
I'm trying to coach football.
410
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:43,190
(Owen) This is bigger
than football, Tandy.
411
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:44,900
All right, then.
412
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:49,071
Get Nathan.
413
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:50,280
What?
414
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:51,991
Nathan!
415
00:24:52,866 --> 00:24:55,119
(Jerry)
Nathan, let's go.
416
00:24:55,202 --> 00:24:57,579
Come on, son.
Let's go.
417
00:24:57,663 --> 00:25:00,749
(Tony's mother) That's right.
Our boys wanna play too.
418
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:04,086
Hey, safety.
419
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:05,587
Go.

Field wrangler, cover two.
423
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:25,649
Ready, break!
424
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,444
(Jerry)
Nathan!
425
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,070
The slot!
426
00:25:30,154 --> 00:25:32,406
The slot, Nathan!
427
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:41,206
N'?

[deep breathing]
429
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:49,548

Hut!
430
00:25:50,758 --> 00:25:56,638
N'?

[footsteps running]
432
00:26:01,643 --> 00:26:03,937
(Tandy) Run! Go, Nathan!
Don't just stand there!
433
00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:05,439
(Jerry)
Go, go, go, 90, 90!

N'?
437
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,546
(Tandy) Come on, ref!
That was a late hit!
438
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:30,756
(Jerry)
Are you kidding me?
439
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:32,466
Come on, Ref!
440
00:26:33,801 --> 00:26:35,427
Welcome to the game.
441
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:39,598
[cheering]
442
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,903
(football player) I thought you
said God was gonna bless us.
443
00:26:52,986 --> 00:26:55,072
I thought we were gonna win.
444
00:26:55,155 --> 00:26:57,616
Maybe God is testing us.
445
00:26:57,699 --> 00:27:01,912
Maybe he wants to know
that our commitment is real,
446
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:05,582
not just to win
football games.
447
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:15,676
N'?
448
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:19,304
Look who decided
to ride the bus today.
449
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:21,014
[laughing]
450
00:27:35,154 --> 00:27:37,656
Hey, Johnnie,
this is Tony.
451
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,741
He don't talk much.
452
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,577
I know who you are.
453
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,203
(Reggie)
Really?
454
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:45,038
(Johnnie) So, what you
mean you don't talk, hmm?
455
00:27:45,122 --> 00:27:46,874
It's 'cause you just
ain't got nothing to say
456
00:27:46,957 --> 00:27:48,584
or too afraid to say it?
457
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:50,210
Both.
458
00:27:50,294 --> 00:27:52,004
(Johnnie)
Reggie, let him talk.
459
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:54,590
If you scored,
we would've won the game.
460
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,717
Why you so afraid
of getting hit?
461
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,802
'Cause it hurts.
462
00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:05,767
(Johnnie)
That's too bad.
463
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,061
Ooh-hoe!
464
00:28:16,153 --> 00:28:18,155
(Hank)
Hey, guys.
465
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:21,241
Hey, Tony, did you hear
about the meeting tonight?
466
00:28:21,325 --> 00:28:22,951
Fellowship
of Christian Athletes.
467
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:26,413
Count you in?
468
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:28,123
What happened
to your foot?
469
00:28:28,207 --> 00:28:30,375
(Hank) Oh, when I was in
college, I was working part-time
470
00:28:30,459 --> 00:28:32,920
during the summer
at a steel mill.
471
00:28:33,003 --> 00:28:35,214
Accident took away
half my foot
472
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:38,342
and my dreams of playing
professional baseball.
473
00:28:38,425 --> 00:28:41,762
Man, baseball was everything
to me back then.
474
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:43,931
Man, I'm sorry about that.
475
00:28:44,014 --> 00:28:46,391
Don't be sorry.
476
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:50,103
I think that sometimes
before you can have
477
00:28:50,187 --> 00:28:51,730
new dreams in this life,
478
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:54,942
the old ones have to be
taken away from you.
479
00:28:55,025 --> 00:28:57,945
Look, there's something
I've wanted to say to you
480
00:28:58,028 --> 00:29:01,031
since the first time
I saw you play.
481
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:05,869
There's something
special about you, Tony.
482
00:29:05,953 --> 00:29:08,080
I can see it.
483
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:09,998
You have a gift.
484
00:29:10,082 --> 00:29:12,751
That's something
that can't be taught.
485
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:15,462
That can only be given.
486
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:22,094
But you have to decide
what you wanna do with it.
487
00:29:22,177 --> 00:29:28,100
When you play for yourself,
you can be great.
488
00:29:28,183 --> 00:29:32,271
But when you play for something
higher than yourself,
489
00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:35,357
that's when something
extraordinary can happen.
490
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:40,988
God has a purpose
for all of us,
491
00:29:41,071 --> 00:29:42,698
and it is not insignificant.
492
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:48,912
And obviously, I can't know
what yours is, but I think--
493
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:54,793
I think God wants you
to be a superstar.
494
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:03,302
No such thing.
495
00:30:03,844 --> 00:30:05,470
As what?
496
00:30:08,390 --> 00:30:11,143
(Tony) There's no such thing
as a black superstar.
497
00:30:11,226 --> 00:30:13,645
Not in this state.
498
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:28,952
You okay, buddy?
499
00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:31,496
I just hate to lose, Dad.
500
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:33,206
I hate it.
501
00:30:33,290 --> 00:30:36,168
I hate it so bad.
502
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:39,796
You say you'll do anything
to win, but you won't.
503
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,882
Didn't you see him run?
504
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:55,437
Hike!
505
00:30:56,563 --> 00:30:58,190
[grunting]
506
00:30:58,398 --> 00:31:00,233
[whistle blowing]
507
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:01,943
Come on, they're killing us!
508
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:03,570
If they're not gonna
give him the ball,
509
00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:05,614
this is just a waste
of time, Junior.
510
00:31:05,697 --> 00:31:10,077
[shouting]
511
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:12,371
(angry spectator)
We need a new coach!
512
00:31:12,454 --> 00:31:14,331
(angry spectator)
Tandy, you're in trouble!
513
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:18,085
(Tandy)
Time out. Time out.
514
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:20,420
Boys, bring it in.
Come here.
515
00:31:21,963 --> 00:31:25,258
Nathan, come here.
516
00:31:25,342 --> 00:31:27,469
This your time
to shine, let's go.
517
00:31:27,552 --> 00:31:29,221
[crowd cheering]
518
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:30,847
That a boy, Tony!
519
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:32,641
Okay, Nathan's
in at tailback.
520
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:33,892
(player)
Wait, wait, Coach!
521
00:31:33,975 --> 00:31:35,143
Power I, guys.
522
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:36,436
Eleven yards,
that's what I need, okay?
523
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,271
That's my position!
He don't know the offense yet!
524
00:31:38,355 --> 00:31:40,232
Morton!
This is my team!
525
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:44,277
It's not a democracy!
Now go sit down!
526
00:31:48,198 --> 00:31:49,741
(player)
All right, let's go.
527
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:51,827
(Tandy)
Nathan.
528
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:56,123
You know what I believe?
529
00:31:56,206 --> 00:32:00,836
That you are faster than them,
so you show me.
530
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:02,671
Yes, sir.
531
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:06,508
Tandy!
532
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:19,312
N'?
533
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:25,610
N'?
534
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:27,320
[whistle blowing]
535
00:32:29,489 --> 00:32:31,366
This is a contact sport,
okay?
536
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,201
When someone wants to hit you,
537
00:32:33,285 --> 00:32:35,704
it feels good to hit 'em
first, okay? Try it.
538
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:37,330

Momma is so proud of you.

Great game, son.
Great game.

This is Johnnie.

Hi.

00:33:50,237 --> 00:33:52,197
Oh, she sure is
pretty, Tony.
564
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,406
Oh, it's not like that.

Momma!
567

No girl better even think
about marrying my Tony
568
00:33:58,119 --> 00:33:59,704
without being church-going.
569
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:01,331
I don't go to church.
570
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:03,333
(Tony's mother) Well, you
gonna go to church with us.
571
00:34:03,416 --> 00:34:04,960
And I see I'm a have
to fatten you up,
572
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,378
'cause I don't know
how you think you gonna
573
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:09,339
have my grandbabies
with hips like that.
574
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:11,925
(Junior)
Uh, let's just let them be.
575
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:14,135
Yeah, well a closed mouth
don't get fed, Junior.
576
00:34:15,095 --> 00:34:17,055
I want my boy
to play college ball.
577
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:18,723
All right,
he has that opportunity,
578
00:34:18,807 --> 00:34:20,934
and I don't think it's right
that it's being taken away
579
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:22,602
by somebody
who don't even belong.
580
00:34:22,686 --> 00:34:24,437
I coach the team
that I am given, Bull.
581
00:34:24,521 --> 00:34:26,064
I coach to win.
582
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:27,691
That is my commitment
to myself, this school,
583
00:34:27,774 --> 00:34:30,110
and every parent in it,
including you.
584
00:34:30,777 --> 00:34:33,071
Hey.
Hey!

You gonna get
that colored boy hurt.
586
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:42,581
Therefore,
since we are surrounded
587
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:45,500
by such a great cloud
of witnesses,
588
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:49,212
let us lay aside
every weight.
589
00:34:49,296 --> 00:34:53,883
We have to run this race
called life with patience.
590
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:57,596
Are you willing to run the race
and put down the shame?
591
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,306
(congregation)
Amen!
592
00:34:59,389 --> 00:35:01,308
(pastor) Turn to your neighbor
and say, "Put it down."
593
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:02,517
Put it down!
594
00:35:02,601 --> 00:35:05,729
How many of y'all have a race
you know you got to run?
595

[applauding]
596
00:35:07,897 --> 00:35:12,569
You think 'cause you
got that many races to run.
597
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:15,030
We need those
that will accomplish
598
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:18,116
all God has laid before us.
599
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:21,453
We need a man,
a woman, or someone--
600
00:35:21,536 --> 00:35:23,246
Finally.
601
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:24,873
Amen, Pastor!
602
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,541
(pastor) Because they're
looking at you.
603
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,168
Because they're
looking to the church.
604
00:35:28,251 --> 00:35:29,794
Because they're
looking to a better day.
605
00:35:29,878 --> 00:35:31,504
Because they're
looking to a new day.
606
00:35:31,588 --> 00:35:34,424
Why? Because
it's time to rise up!
607
00:35:34,507 --> 00:35:36,051
Rise up!
608
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,846
Somebody's gotta
rise up this morning!
609
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:48,438
Rise up.
610
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:50,065
You buy all that stuff?
611
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:53,193
(Tony)
Yeah, I do.
612
00:35:53,276 --> 00:35:55,904
Been taught it all my life.
613
00:35:55,987 --> 00:36:00,659
I finally feel like I own it,
like it's mine.
614
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,410
What about you?
615
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:06,206
I'm Christian same
as the next person,
616
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:08,958
but I believe rising up
means fighting back,
617
00:36:09,042 --> 00:36:11,211
only way things
are gonna change.
618
00:36:11,294 --> 00:36:15,632
Tony, we in a system that
prevents any type of aspiration,
619
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:17,300
any type of growth.
620
00:36:17,384 --> 00:36:18,510
Johnnie--
621
00:36:18,593 --> 00:36:19,928
And then when one of us
can't take it anymore,
622
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,429
we're made an example of.
623
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:22,764
We take the blame.
624
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:23,765
Hey, Johnnie!
625
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:25,308
Nuh-uh, but the blame
belongs in the system,
626
00:36:25,392 --> 00:36:27,102
the system that's been keeping
us down time after time.
627
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:29,187
Johnnie Francis!
628
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:33,191
Go out with me.
629
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:35,443
What?
630
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,070
Friday night.
631
00:36:37,153 --> 00:36:38,738
Okay, fine.
632
00:36:38,822 --> 00:36:40,365
I'll pick you up?
633
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:41,991

I'll meet you there.
636

Rising up still means
fighting back.

thank you for this day.

to play football

And we hope that we
honor you and your glory.

and that's the whole thing.

All right, then.

with the players tonight
657

over at Crestwood.
658
00:37:46,723 --> 00:37:48,266
You should come.

maybe.

00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,661
This is WXJC Birmingham,
and we're following
718
00:40:54,744 --> 00:40:56,621
the number-one team
in the state,
719
00:40:56,704 --> 00:41:00,083
the Huffman Vikings,
on their so-far uncontested road
720
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:01,834
to another championship.
721
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:04,754
Now, tonight, they square off
against the Woodlawn Colonels,
722
00:41:04,837 --> 00:41:08,591
and this should be a routine,
regular season ball game,
723
00:41:08,675 --> 00:41:10,468
as they're favored
by 6 touchdowns.
724
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:13,554
And on paper, folks, there's
no way at all that Woodlawn
725
00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:16,599
has a chance against
this powerful ball club.
726
00:41:19,352 --> 00:41:20,937
(Tandy)
Okay boys, listen up.
727
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:23,022
The preacher wants
to say a few words.
728
00:41:23,106 --> 00:41:24,732
Thank you, Coach.
729
00:41:24,816 --> 00:41:26,359
Make it good.
730
00:41:26,442 --> 00:41:27,986
Yeah.
731
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:31,406
Read the highlighted,
right there.
732
00:41:36,661 --> 00:41:38,663
"This day--"
733
00:41:44,127 --> 00:41:48,339
"This day the Lord
will deliver you into my hand
734
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:50,883
and I will strike you down."
735
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:55,388
(Hank) So that all on earth know
that there is a God in Israel.
736
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:58,057
And David reached
into his pocket,
737
00:41:58,141 --> 00:42:00,059
and he pulled out a stone.
738
00:42:00,143 --> 00:42:05,231
And he slung it, and it struck
the Philistine in the head.
739
00:42:05,314 --> 00:42:07,483
And he fell.
740
00:42:07,567 --> 00:42:09,736
You know what's gonna happen?
741
00:42:09,819 --> 00:42:12,613
You're gonna win this game
tonight, you hear me?
742
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:14,240
(players)
Yes, sir!
743
00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:15,867
(Hank)
You're gonna win this game!
744
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:18,286
You wanna know how I know
that you're gonna win this game?
745
00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:21,706
Because it's not about you.
746
00:42:21,789 --> 00:42:26,711
Nobody out there knows
what's happened with this team.
747
00:42:26,794 --> 00:42:30,548
But when you win,
on this day, they will.
748
00:42:30,631 --> 00:42:34,510
When you do what everyone
said is impossible, they will.
749
00:42:34,594 --> 00:42:38,431
When you strike down
this giant, they will!
750
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:41,934
And when they find out
how you did it,
751
00:42:42,018 --> 00:42:45,646
then all the earth will know
that there is a God in Israel
752
00:42:45,730 --> 00:42:47,273
on this day.
753
00:42:47,356 --> 00:42:50,276
On this day!
On this day!
754
00:42:50,359 --> 00:42:53,196
[team chanting] On this day!
On this day!
755
00:42:53,279 --> 00:42:55,281
[chanting continues]
756
00:42:59,869 --> 00:43:02,622
Hey, you're starting
at tailback tonight.
757
00:43:02,705 --> 00:43:05,124
[team cheering]
One, two, three, Woodlawn!
758
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:08,002
[vomiting]
759
00:43:18,930 --> 00:43:21,933
Nathan, come on.
We gotta go.
760
00:43:22,016 --> 00:43:23,810
Yes, sir.
761
00:43:23,893 --> 00:43:27,772
Let's just see
what happens, okay?
762
00:43:29,315 --> 00:43:30,942
Your momma's gonna kill me.
763
00:43:31,943 --> 00:43:37,907
[crowd cheering]
764
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:39,617
Turn, boys!
765
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,037
(announcer) Receives deep
at the 10-yard line.
766
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:45,915
Outstanding blocking as they
break open the double wedge,
767
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:49,794
just bowling over the much
smaller Woodlawn Colonels.
768
00:43:49,877 --> 00:43:55,216
N'?
769
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:56,843
[whistle blowing]
770
00:43:56,926 --> 00:43:58,553
Good job.
Good job.
771
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:01,222
Stack grip, cover two.
772
00:44:01,305 --> 00:44:03,057
Get out of here, come on.
773
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:06,686
[shouting audibles]
774
00:44:09,063 --> 00:44:13,442
N'?
775
00:44:13,526 --> 00:44:15,862
(Jerry) Stay in your lane!
Stay in your lane!
776
00:44:16,362 --> 00:44:17,947
(announcer)
And touchdown.
777
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:20,825
Ackman is in the end zone,
taking only two plays.
778
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:22,910
And I have a feeling
this is just a portent
779
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:25,121
of what we're gonna be
seeing here this evening.
780
00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:28,416
It could be a massacre
on the football field tonight.
781
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:30,501
They're big, Coach.
782
00:44:30,585 --> 00:44:32,712
Really big.
783
00:44:33,713 --> 00:44:42,180
N'?
784
00:44:42,263 --> 00:44:43,890
(Hank)
Hey there, David.
785
00:44:47,185 --> 00:44:49,103
What do you say you
go in there right now
786
00:44:49,187 --> 00:44:51,272
and take down that giant?
787
00:44:51,355 --> 00:44:53,357
Make 'em all believe.
788
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:01,199
N'?
789
00:45:01,282 --> 00:45:02,909
[team shouting]
Break!
790
00:45:03,743 --> 00:45:07,496
(announcer) Woodlawn lines up at
their own 2O in the I formation.
791
00:45:07,580 --> 00:45:11,459
Their tailback, number 22,
we've not seen him before.
792
00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:14,712
His name is Tony Nathan.
793
00:45:23,304 --> 00:45:24,931
Go Tony!
794
00:45:25,264 --> 00:45:28,684
(announcer)
Nathan breaks the tackle.
795
00:45:28,768 --> 00:45:29,769
Look at this guy go.
796
00:45:29,852 --> 00:45:31,395
He's 40 past midfield.
797
00:45:31,479 --> 00:45:33,064
One more man to beat.
798
00:45:33,147 --> 00:45:36,150
There he goes
to the 30, the 20, the 10.
799
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:39,946
And for the first time
in over a year.
800
00:45:40,029 --> 00:45:43,032
Touchdown Woodlawn.
An unbelievable run.
801
00:45:43,115 --> 00:45:46,702
What a play by
young Tony Nathan.
802
00:45:49,205 --> 00:45:54,543
N'?
803
00:45:54,627 --> 00:45:56,170
Hey, brother.
804
00:45:56,254 --> 00:45:58,881
Jesus has a plan
for your life.
805
00:46:02,551 --> 00:46:04,762
(announcer) Ackman Driving
back with a vengeance.
806
00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:07,014
They're deep
in Woodlawn territory.
807
00:46:07,098 --> 00:46:09,767
Murphy breaks left,
picks up 5 yards.
808
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,060
[cheering]
809
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:12,061
It's a fumble!
810
00:46:12,144 --> 00:46:13,437
(announcer)
Woodlawn has it.
811
00:46:13,521 --> 00:46:17,191
An incredible hit by middle
linebacker, Mike Allyson.
812
00:46:17,275 --> 00:46:19,068
(Tandy) Allyson, Allyson, come here!
Come here.
813
00:46:19,151 --> 00:46:20,444
Good hit, son.
Great hit.
814
00:46:20,528 --> 00:46:22,488
How many players are out there?
No, there's one.
815
00:46:22,571 --> 00:46:24,156
Just one.
Number 45.
816
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,367
You take him out
and you clear a path for Nathan.
817
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:27,994
You take him out,
we win this game.
818
00:46:28,077 --> 00:46:29,704
Nathan, get in there.
819
00:46:30,204 --> 00:46:32,123
(Jerry) Alright, so what are
you gonna do now, Coach?
820
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:34,667
I'm just gonna
give the ball to Tony.
821
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:36,627
(announcer)
And this is unbelievable.
822
00:46:36,711 --> 00:46:38,671
The underdog
Woodlawn Colonels
823
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:43,134
have the number-one team
in the state on their heels.
824
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,512
[announcer continues, muffled]
825
00:46:46,595 --> 00:46:56,522
N'?
826
00:46:56,605 --> 00:47:06,532
N'?
827
00:47:06,615 --> 00:47:16,625
N'?
828
00:47:16,959 --> 00:47:21,756
(announcer) It is absolutely
pandemonium here tonight.
829
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:24,133
The number-one team
in the state is being
830
00:47:24,216 --> 00:47:27,511
single-handedly dismantled
by this young
831
00:47:27,595 --> 00:47:29,597
junior tailback from Woodlawn.
832
00:47:32,099 --> 00:47:33,642
We are witnessing
a star being born.
833
00:47:33,726 --> 00:47:35,269
Touchdown!
834
00:47:35,353 --> 00:47:37,438
Touchdown, Tony Nathan.
835
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:43,652
[crowd cheering]
836
00:47:45,029 --> 00:47:46,989
(announcer) And there it is.
It's all over.
837
00:47:47,073 --> 00:47:49,825
It is all over.
Woodlawn has done it.
838
00:47:49,909 --> 00:47:52,203
Woodlawn has done
the impossible.
839
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:55,331
The biggest upset
we have seen in years.
840
00:47:55,414 --> 00:47:57,541
I can't believe it.
That is it.
841
00:47:57,625 --> 00:48:00,169
The champ is down.
842
00:48:00,252 --> 00:48:10,179
N'?
843
00:48:10,262 --> 00:48:20,231
N'?
844
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:21,232
Great game.
845
00:48:21,315 --> 00:48:22,233
Coach.
846
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:24,068
Coach, I don't know what
your players are playing with,
847
00:48:24,151 --> 00:48:26,320
but I've never seen
a team play like that.
848
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:28,280
Good luck
the rest of the season.
849
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:29,907
Let's go, son.
850
00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:32,535
[crowd cheering]
851
00:48:32,618 --> 00:48:42,545
N'?
852
00:48:42,628 --> 00:48:52,555
N'?
853
00:48:52,638 --> 00:49:02,565
N'?
854
00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:07,445
N'?
855
00:49:07,528 --> 00:49:14,535
[cheering]
856
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:23,669
(pastor) For God so loved
the world that he gave who?
857
00:49:23,752 --> 00:49:25,296
(congregation)
His only begotten Son.
858
00:49:25,379 --> 00:49:27,965
(pastor) That whosoever believeth
in him should not perish,
859
00:49:28,048 --> 00:49:29,592
but what will they have?
860
00:49:29,675 --> 00:49:31,218
(congregation)
Everlasting life.
861
00:49:31,302 --> 00:49:35,139
(pastor) God loved us,
so he gave us Jesus.
862
00:49:35,222 --> 00:49:39,977
If he gave you a gift, why
do you have it wrapped up?
863
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:44,607
Because the world needs the gift
that is trapped inside of you.
864
00:49:44,690 --> 00:49:46,442
As a matter of fact, Tony,
you stand up,
865
00:49:46,525 --> 00:49:49,653
because you are using
your gift for God's glory.
866
00:49:49,737 --> 00:49:51,280
[congregation applauding]
867
00:49:51,363 --> 00:49:53,449
Give Tony
a round of applause.
868
00:49:53,532 --> 00:49:57,244
We're proud of you, son,
for how you are letting God
869
00:49:57,328 --> 00:49:59,205
shine through you every day.
870
00:49:59,288 --> 00:50:00,831
Yeah.
871
00:50:00,915 --> 00:50:02,458
Hallelujah.
872
00:50:02,541 --> 00:50:04,877
Hallelujah.
873
00:50:07,505 --> 00:50:09,965
Coach Gerelds,
we welcome you
874
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:13,052
and your family here
this morning.
875
00:50:14,929 --> 00:50:17,431
Can I say a few words
please, sir?
876
00:50:17,515 --> 00:50:19,350
Come on, then.
877
00:50:42,623 --> 00:50:45,626
I wanted to come here
today because...
878
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,713
...five of my players
are here.
879
00:50:54,635 --> 00:50:58,180
Five of my players
that have been mistreated
880
00:50:58,264 --> 00:51:00,266
time and again
by their school...
881
00:51:02,810 --> 00:51:04,812
...and by their teammates...
882
00:51:07,815 --> 00:51:12,111
...and I have not done
enough to stop it.
883
00:51:15,447 --> 00:51:19,785
Now, at the beginning
of this season, my team,
884
00:51:19,868 --> 00:51:24,415
almost my entire team,
they gave themselves to love.
885
00:51:27,459 --> 00:51:30,462
A love that I didn't understand.
886
00:51:32,923 --> 00:51:36,927
A love that began
to conquer hatred.
887
00:51:39,013 --> 00:51:41,432
And after the game on Friday,
I went home...
888
00:51:43,976 --> 00:51:45,978
...and I prayed.
889
00:51:47,271 --> 00:51:50,274
Not that I really
know how to do that...
890
00:51:53,652 --> 00:51:55,654
...but I told God that,
891
00:51:58,198 --> 00:52:00,200
"I don't know
if you're real...

01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:26,660
What happens
to compassionate people?
1068
01:02:26,743 --> 01:02:27,661
They lose!
1069
01:02:27,744 --> 01:02:31,289
They lose, that's right.
They lose. They lose!
1070
01:02:31,373 --> 01:02:32,916
(announcer) It's been a
Cinderella season for Woodlawn,
1071
01:02:32,999 --> 01:02:34,542
but they have to win
here tonight,
1072
01:02:34,626 --> 01:02:36,878
or that fairy tale is over.
1073
01:02:36,962 --> 01:02:39,965
(Tandy) Okay, come on, men.
Everyone take a knee.
1074
01:02:42,384 --> 01:02:45,595
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
1075
01:02:46,554 --> 01:02:48,431
Jesus can't save you now,
fellas.
1076
01:02:48,515 --> 01:02:50,558
This is Jets football!
1077
01:02:52,644 --> 01:02:54,187
Jesus can't save you now!
1078
01:02:54,271 --> 01:02:55,897
You're going down!
1079
01:02:57,107 --> 01:02:58,733
Amen.
1080
01:03:00,402 --> 01:03:01,319
Boys, you ready to beat Banks?
1081
01:03:01,403 --> 01:03:02,320
[team shouting]
Yes, sir!
1082
01:03:02,404 --> 01:03:03,530
I said are you ready
to beat Banks?

01:03:03,613 --> 01:03:04,531
[team shouting]
Yes, sir!
1084

(announcer) A devastating
hit on Tony Nathan,
1089
01:03:26,011 --> 01:03:30,140
and he is getting up slowly
at the 30-yard line.
1090
01:03:30,223 --> 01:03:31,808

1097
01:04:01,421 --> 01:04:05,842

1099
01:04:13,475 --> 01:04:15,602

Excuse me, Coach.

01:05:14,619 --> 01:05:16,746
Can't guard perfect, Coach.
1112
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:18,706

Get out there, boys.
1120
01:05:53,783 --> 01:05:55,660
You silence them, Nathan.
1121
01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:57,787
Nathan, you silence them.
1122
01:05:57,871 --> 01:05:59,622
You get out there,
and you shut them up.
1123
01:05:59,706 --> 01:06:01,958
Come on, get it done.
Come on!
1124
01:06:04,210 --> 01:06:06,880
That's just football, boys.
Little bit of rain.

Power C Waggle left on one.
On one.

(Shorty White) Hey, Danny!
You stop him right here.

01:06:58,890 --> 01:07:00,517
You hear me?
1136
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,028

01:07:24,541 --> 01:07:26,084
(announcer)
He's still on his feet.
1140
01:07:26,167 --> 01:07:27,710
He's in the 20, the 15,
1141
01:07:27,794 --> 01:07:29,170
working his way
through the defense
1142
01:07:29,254 --> 01:07:30,588
toward the end zone.
1143
01:07:30,672 --> 01:07:33,216
He's willing his way forward.
He scores.
1144
01:07:33,299 --> 01:07:36,970
Touchdown, Woodlawn.

That flag don't hurt me.

1155
01:08:25,977 --> 01:08:27,520
DOC!
1156
01:08:27,604 --> 01:08:30,607
Coach, think we'll be taking
a big risk to let him play.
1157
01:08:33,693 --> 01:08:37,238
Nathan, we win with you.
1158
01:08:37,322 --> 01:08:39,991
We cannot win without you.
You understand?
1159
01:08:40,074 --> 01:08:41,618
Tony!
1160
01:08:41,701 --> 01:08:43,703
Adversity is a crucible

[shouting angrily]
1163
01:08:47,624 --> 01:08:48,875
Yes, sir.
1164
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:50,084
Can you do this?
1165
01:08:50,168 --> 01:08:51,085
Yes, sir.
1166
01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:54,589
Okay, let's do it.
Come on.
1167
01:08:54,672 --> 01:09:03,014
N'?
1168
01:09:03,097 --> 01:09:04,724
Nathan!
1169
01:09:06,267 --> 01:09:08,394
Let's go.
1170
01:09:11,731 --> 01:09:14,025
(Shorty White) Hey Coach,
has it rained harder?
1171
01:09:14,108 --> 01:09:15,818
Them angels is crying!
1172
01:09:16,235 --> 01:09:18,112
Them angels is crying!

[thunder rumbling]
1174
01:09:55,942 --> 01:10:00,613
I just wanna say that
I am proud of all of you.
1175
01:10:04,117 --> 01:10:07,120
I'm proud of each
and every one of you,
1176
01:10:10,331 --> 01:10:16,170
for the game that
you played tonight
1177
01:10:16,254 --> 01:10:20,508
and the men that you
have become this season.
1178
01:10:35,481 --> 01:10:39,026
Hank, come on, just--
you say something.
1179
01:10:41,237 --> 01:10:51,164
N'?
1180
01:10:51,247 --> 01:11:01,174
N'?
1181
01:11:01,257 --> 01:11:10,433
N'?
1182
01:11:10,516 --> 01:11:12,769
[screaming]
1183
01:11:16,105 --> 01:11:18,691
[crying]
1184
01:11:18,775 --> 01:11:21,903
Hey, hey, come here.
Come here, come here, come here.
1185
01:11:21,986 --> 01:11:24,322
Why didn't you play me?
1186
01:11:24,405 --> 01:11:28,409
You know what is more important
than winning football games?
1187
01:11:28,493 --> 01:11:30,119
You are.
1188
01:11:31,579 --> 01:11:33,372
You are.
1189
01:11:34,165 --> 01:11:36,459
You are.
1190
01:11:37,877 --> 01:11:46,260
N'?
1191
01:11:46,344 --> 01:11:50,723
(pastor) Jesus says
to love our enemies.
1192
01:11:50,807 --> 01:11:55,019
We have to love
those that oppose us.
1193
01:11:55,102 --> 01:11:59,524
We have to love those
that are against us,
1194
01:11:59,607 --> 01:12:04,028
to do good to those
that persecute us.
1195
01:12:04,111 --> 01:12:10,493
This is the kind of love that
isn't easy, but if we do it,
1196
01:12:10,576 --> 01:12:13,037
we will see change like
we have never seen before.
1197
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:14,914
Because here's the question.
1198
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:19,418
If you only love those
that love you back,
1199
01:12:19,502 --> 01:12:24,006
what kind of love is that?
1200
01:12:24,090 --> 01:12:25,842
(congregation)
Amen!
1201
01:12:25,925 --> 01:12:28,302
(pastor)
Think about it, church.
1202
01:12:28,386 --> 01:12:30,137
Think about it.
1203
01:12:31,097 --> 01:12:32,640
(Tony's mother)
I can do pork chops.
1204
01:12:32,723 --> 01:12:34,267
I'm gonna fry 'em up
in some flour.
1205
01:12:34,350 --> 01:12:36,561
[laughing]
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
1206
01:12:50,157 --> 01:12:52,159
What in the world?
1207
01:12:52,577 --> 01:12:55,079
That's Bear Bryant.
1208
01:12:58,249 --> 01:13:00,001
(Bear Bryant)
Hello, son.
1209
01:13:00,084 --> 01:13:01,627
I'm Coach Bryant.
1210
01:13:01,711 --> 01:13:03,337
I know.
1211
01:13:04,505 --> 01:13:06,591
(Tony's mother)
Junior, get the baby.
1212
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:18,269
(Tony's mother) Did you
always wanna be a coach?
1213
01:13:18,352 --> 01:13:20,313
My mama wanted me
to be a preacher,
1214
01:13:20,396 --> 01:13:22,982
but I told her that
coaching and preaching
1215
01:13:23,065 --> 01:13:24,609
is pretty much
the same thing.
1216
01:13:24,692 --> 01:13:28,779
We both serve something
greater than ourselves.
1217
01:13:28,863 --> 01:13:32,241
She went for it.
1218
01:13:32,325 --> 01:13:34,327
Oh, I could eat
that whole thing.
1219
01:13:36,454 --> 01:13:40,124
You know, a great team
shares the same heartbeat.
1220
01:13:40,207 --> 01:13:41,751
That's what I believe.
1221
01:13:41,834 --> 01:13:44,170
Amen.
1222
01:13:44,253 --> 01:13:48,883
(Coach Bryant) If there is one thing
that has helped me as a coach,
1223
01:13:48,966 --> 01:13:52,887
Louise, it's my ability
to recognize winners,
1224
01:13:52,970 --> 01:13:54,513
or good people
who can become winners.
1225
01:13:54,597 --> 01:13:57,892
And that's what I see
when I look at you, Tony.
1226
01:13:57,975 --> 01:13:59,727
And I'm talking about
winning in the larger sense.
1227
01:13:59,810 --> 01:14:02,939
I'm talking about character.
1228
01:14:03,022 --> 01:14:05,816
Now, you have
a strong family.
1229
01:14:05,900 --> 01:14:08,319
That's a great advantage.
1230
01:14:08,402 --> 01:14:11,572
And you're coached
by a special coach.
1231
01:14:11,656 --> 01:14:13,866
Thank you, sir.
1232
01:14:13,950 --> 01:14:15,618
So, you coming?
1233
01:14:15,701 --> 01:14:19,121
Where?
1234
01:14:19,205 --> 01:14:21,415
'Bama.
1235
01:14:21,499 --> 01:14:24,168
(Tony) My coach, he
played at Auburn.
1236
01:14:24,251 --> 01:14:25,419
(Coach Bryant)
Son...
1237
01:14:25,503 --> 01:14:29,090
[tapping glass]
1238
01:14:29,173 --> 01:14:30,967
...don't you want
one of these?
1239
01:14:31,050 --> 01:14:32,593
Sure do.
1240
01:14:32,677 --> 01:14:35,304
Louise, he ain't gonna
get one at Auburn.
1241
01:14:35,388 --> 01:14:38,808
I feel sorry for those boys.
1242
01:14:38,891 --> 01:14:44,313
How many
black players you got?
1243
01:14:44,397 --> 01:14:48,985
Well, we got Wilber Jackson,
and he's a stud.

not nearly enough.

see that changing?

"When there is no vision,
the people perish."

It's bigger than this rivalry.

We wanna share it with you.

over at the church.

I went to shut it down
anyway,
1297

would make my boys weak.

1418
01:25:36,465 --> 01:25:38,508
And because
of the expected crowds,
1419
01:25:38,592 --> 01:25:40,135
the game has been
moved to the heart
1420
01:25:40,218 --> 01:25:42,638
of Birmingham:
Legion Field.
1421
01:25:42,721 --> 01:25:44,806
It's Nathan vs. Rutledge.
1422
01:25:48,435 --> 01:25:50,437
Get those knees up.
1423
01:25:54,316 --> 01:25:57,152
You spying out the battlefield
like me, huh?
1424
01:25:57,235 --> 01:25:59,488
How many people you think?
1425
01:25:59,571 --> 01:26:01,281
I don't know.
1426
01:26:01,365 --> 01:26:04,368
Heard it could be
close to 20,000.
1427
01:26:05,869 --> 01:26:08,664
Ain't never seen that
many people in my life.
1428
01:26:08,747 --> 01:26:11,124
You see the
"Sports illustrated"?
1429
01:26:11,208 --> 01:26:12,751
Nah, man.
1430
01:26:12,834 --> 01:26:16,963
"Faces in the Crowd,"
you're in there.
1431
01:26:17,047 --> 01:26:19,675
I'm sure the Bear came and saw
you, gave you the ring speech.
1432
01:26:19,758 --> 01:26:21,301
Yeah.
1433
01:26:21,385 --> 01:26:24,096
"You ain't gonna
get one over there."
1434
01:26:24,179 --> 01:26:26,098
Yeah, he did.
1435
01:26:26,181 --> 01:26:27,724
You decided?
1436
01:26:27,808 --> 01:26:30,310
Man, I don't even know.
1437
01:26:30,394 --> 01:26:33,980
I've never made this big
of a decision before in my life.
1438
01:26:34,064 --> 01:26:35,691
Me too.
1439
01:26:37,442 --> 01:26:40,278
Well, go where you feel like you
can make the most difference.
1440
01:26:40,362 --> 01:26:43,365
That's what I'm gonna do.
1441
01:26:43,448 --> 01:26:48,245
It's crazy, all these
people coming to see us.
1442
01:26:48,328 --> 01:26:51,957
What's so special about us?
1443
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,334
(Tony)
We're a symbol.
1444
01:26:54,418 --> 01:26:56,336
We give them hope.
1445
01:26:56,420 --> 01:27:02,926
N'?
1446
01:27:03,009 --> 01:27:04,845
[knocking]
1447
01:27:20,485 --> 01:27:23,697
I ain't seen you in school.
1448
01:27:23,780 --> 01:27:25,991
I got suspended.
1449
01:27:26,074 --> 01:27:28,034
Why?
1450
01:27:28,118 --> 01:27:30,495
Because I wanted to.
1451
01:27:30,579 --> 01:27:33,957
Ain't nobody gonna
bus me to that prison.
1452
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:40,130
That's the only way
I saw out, that's all.
1453
01:27:40,213 --> 01:27:43,425
(Tony) Who's been
doing this to you?
1454
01:27:44,384 --> 01:27:47,179
[car approaching]
1455
01:27:47,262 --> 01:27:49,639
You need to leave.
1456
01:27:49,723 --> 01:27:51,683
Right now, please.
1457
01:27:51,767 --> 01:27:54,060
Go.
1458
01:27:57,314 --> 01:28:00,525
(Johnnie's father)
Touchdown Tony Nathan.
1459
01:28:00,609 --> 01:28:04,237
What you doing here,
digging in the trash?
1460
01:28:04,321 --> 01:28:09,284
(Johnnie)
Tony!
1461
01:28:09,367 --> 01:28:15,916
That might be your daughter,
but that's the woman I love.
1462
01:28:28,386 --> 01:28:34,100
[sobbing]
1463
01:28:34,726 --> 01:28:44,653
N'?
1464
01:28:44,736 --> 01:28:46,946
N'?
1465
01:28:46,947 --> 01:28:48,073
N'?
1466
01:28:48,156 --> 01:28:50,408
(Owen) Did you actually
read through this?
1467
01:28:50,492 --> 01:28:52,160
Come on.
1468
01:28:52,244 --> 01:28:55,622
Parents are calling it
abrasive and overreaching.
1469
01:28:55,705 --> 01:28:57,249
(Tandy) I didn't force
anyone to do anything.
1470
01:28:57,332 --> 01:28:58,875
You know what this is.
1471
01:28:58,959 --> 01:29:00,502
(Owen)
It's retribution.
1472
01:29:00,585 --> 01:29:04,714
Yes, I know, but I am
compelled to deal with it.
1473
01:29:04,798 --> 01:29:08,260
(Tandy) Look at the changes
to these boys, Owen.
1474
01:29:08,343 --> 01:29:09,886
It is amazing to see.
1475
01:29:09,970 --> 01:29:11,763
It is.
1476
01:29:11,847 --> 01:29:14,766
But this is
a public high school.
1477
01:29:22,691 --> 01:29:32,617
N'?
1478
01:29:32,701 --> 01:29:42,627
N'?
1479
01:29:42,711 --> 01:29:45,922
N'?
1480
01:29:46,006 --> 01:29:48,008
Mr. Whitehurst.
1481
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,343
And you are?
1482
01:29:50,427 --> 01:29:53,805
I'm Linda, sir.
I'm a teacher.
1483
01:29:53,889 --> 01:29:56,016
And what is this?
1484
01:29:56,099 --> 01:29:58,059
It's a prayer meeting.
1485
01:29:58,143 --> 01:29:59,686
Prayer meeting?
1486
01:29:59,769 --> 01:30:01,521
The kids started it
themselves Friday night
1487
01:30:01,605 --> 01:30:03,982
and it just hasn't stopped.
1488
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:05,609
(Johnnie)
God, thank you for the change
1489
01:30:05,692 --> 01:30:07,319
that you've brought
upon this city.
1490
01:30:07,402 --> 01:30:09,529
Thank you for the change that
you've brought upon this school.
1491
01:30:09,613 --> 01:30:12,073
Thank you for the change that
you have brought upon my life.
1492
01:30:12,157 --> 01:30:14,367
(Gene)
Are you leading this?
1493
01:30:14,451 --> 01:30:16,578
No, sir.
I was an atheist last week.
1494
01:30:16,661 --> 01:30:21,416
The kids,
they're leading me.
1495
01:30:21,499 --> 01:30:24,794
It's spreading
all over the school.
1496
01:30:24,878 --> 01:30:27,047
There's even a rally
tonight at Legion Field
1497
01:30:27,130 --> 01:30:28,256
if you want to come.
1498
01:30:28,340 --> 01:30:30,342
Coach is setting it up.
1499
01:30:31,468 --> 01:30:41,394
N'?
1500
01:30:41,478 --> 01:30:48,777
N'?
1501
01:30:48,860 --> 01:30:50,820
I just wanna thank
Coach Gerelds and his team
1502
01:30:50,904 --> 01:30:53,031
for putting this together.
1503
01:30:53,114 --> 01:30:56,826
Thank you, Coach.
1504
01:30:56,910 --> 01:30:58,954
Would you look at this?
1505
01:30:59,037 --> 01:31:01,039
I mean, take a look around.
1506
01:31:01,122 --> 01:31:03,249
Can you believe it?
1507
01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:06,920
This is what happens
when God shows up.
1508
01:31:07,003 --> 01:31:09,965
[cheering]
1509
01:31:10,048 --> 01:31:13,301
Now, a couple years back,
I went to this thing called
1510
01:31:13,385 --> 01:31:17,263
"The Explo '72" in Dallas.
1511
01:31:17,347 --> 01:31:22,018
I joined a hundred thousand
other people just like us.
1512
01:31:22,102 --> 01:31:24,646
Up until that point
in my life,
1513
01:31:24,729 --> 01:31:29,484
I guess I kinda
felt insignificant.
1514
01:31:29,567 --> 01:31:33,321
I felt like my life
doesn't matter.
1515
01:31:33,405 --> 01:31:35,907
Then the last night of the week,
1516
01:31:35,991 --> 01:31:40,996
there in the big Cotton Bowl,
they shut off the lights.
1517
01:31:43,039 --> 01:31:48,586
And in that darkness,
Reverend Graham lit a candle.
1518
01:31:48,670 --> 01:31:51,172
A single candle.
1519
01:31:51,256 --> 01:31:55,844
I was standing in the very
back of the stadium,
1520
01:31:55,927 --> 01:31:59,139
but I could see that light.
1521
01:31:59,222 --> 01:32:06,187
And I realized that my
life is not insignificant.
1522
01:32:07,981 --> 01:32:11,985
My life matters.
1523
01:32:13,862 --> 01:32:18,283
One light became two
and two became ten
1524
01:32:18,366 --> 01:32:22,996
and ten became
a hundred thousand.
1525
01:32:23,079 --> 01:32:25,373
Well, people in Dallas started
calling the fire department
1526
01:32:25,457 --> 01:32:27,000
and the police department,
1527
01:32:27,083 --> 01:32:30,295
saying,
"The Cotton Bowl's on fire!"
1528
01:32:30,378 --> 01:32:32,380
Well, you know what?
1529
01:32:33,423 --> 01:32:35,425
They were right.
1530
01:32:36,134 --> 01:32:40,764
A hundred thousand candles
burning as one.
1531
01:32:40,847 --> 01:32:44,142
"Time Magazine" said
that the Jesus revolution--
1532
01:32:44,225 --> 01:32:49,314
that's what they called us--
has a symbol.
1533
01:32:52,984 --> 01:32:55,987
This is our symbol.
1534
01:32:56,071 --> 01:32:58,615
Because there is one way.
1535
01:32:58,698 --> 01:33:01,910
[crowd cheering]
1536
01:33:01,993 --> 01:33:04,120
We're not gathered here
united tonight
1537
01:33:04,204 --> 01:33:09,667
because of the name
of our teams or of our schools,
1538
01:33:09,751 --> 01:33:12,754
but because of the name
above all names:
1539
01:33:14,923 --> 01:33:15,840
Jesus.
1540
01:33:15,924 --> 01:33:19,094
[cheering]
1541
01:33:21,012 --> 01:33:23,056
Jesus.
1542
01:33:23,139 --> 01:33:27,519
One person alone in the dark,
1543
01:33:27,602 --> 01:33:33,775
willing to speak the truth
when it's not popular,
1544
01:33:33,858 --> 01:33:39,572
one person willing to speak
the truth when it is not safe,
1545
01:33:39,656 --> 01:33:42,659
when there is much at stake.
1546
01:33:44,911 --> 01:33:49,082
Look around you.
1547
01:33:49,165 --> 01:33:52,961
We're not alone.
1548
01:33:53,044 --> 01:33:58,383
This is what happens
when God shows up.
1549
01:33:58,466 --> 01:34:03,466
N'?
1550
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:08,476
N'?
1551
01:34:09,394 --> 01:34:11,437
(Gene)
Well, here he comes.
1552
01:34:11,521 --> 01:34:13,940
Coach, so glad
you could join us.
1553
01:34:14,023 --> 01:34:16,234
I believe you know
everybody here.
1554
01:34:16,317 --> 01:34:19,571
This is Brenda Halley,
lawyer from Montgomery.
1555
01:34:19,654 --> 01:34:20,738
Ma'am.
1556
01:34:20,822 --> 01:34:22,949
Why don't you take your seat
and let us get started.
1557
01:34:23,032 --> 01:34:24,576
Go right ahead.
1558
01:34:24,659 --> 01:34:26,494
Did you have an evangelist
of some sort
1559
01:34:26,578 --> 01:34:30,582
speak to the team
this year and last?
1560
01:34:30,665 --> 01:34:32,208
Yes.
1561
01:34:32,292 --> 01:34:33,835
Was this activity
school sponsored?
1562
01:34:33,918 --> 01:34:35,795
Was it required?
1563
01:34:35,879 --> 01:34:38,173
Well, it just
sorta happened.
1564
01:34:38,256 --> 01:34:40,842
It wasn't required, at least
not the way that I saw.
1565
01:34:40,925 --> 01:34:43,720
(Brenda) Last year, did you
recite the Lord's Prayer
1566
01:34:43,803 --> 01:34:47,599
before and after each game?
1567
01:34:47,682 --> 01:34:49,225
Yes, we did.
1568
01:34:49,309 --> 01:34:50,852
(Brenda)
Did you dismiss players
1569
01:34:50,935 --> 01:34:52,270
because they didn't
wanna be a part of this?
1570
01:34:52,353 --> 01:34:53,271
Yes, he did.
1571
01:34:53,354 --> 01:34:55,356
That is in outright lie.
Your son quit.
1572
01:34:55,440 --> 01:34:56,774
Coach, are you aware
of the U.S. Supreme Court
1573
01:34:56,858 --> 01:34:58,109
ruling on this issue?
1574
01:34:58,193 --> 01:34:59,777
Because you're in clear
violation of it.
1575
01:34:59,861 --> 01:35:02,030
And whether you like it or not,
you are breaking the law.
1576
01:35:02,113 --> 01:35:03,323
(Tandy) See, I think
this has more to do
1577
01:35:03,406 --> 01:35:05,658
with the color
of my tailback than God.
1578
01:35:05,742 --> 01:35:07,744
(Gene) I want you to stop
all religious activities
1579
01:35:07,827 --> 01:35:10,538
until this board has taken this
matter under full review.
1580
01:35:10,622 --> 01:35:11,915
You mean on school property?
1581
01:35:11,998 --> 01:35:16,836
I mean all activities, otherwise
you will be removed as coach
1582
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,880
from Woodlawn High School.
1583
01:35:18,963 --> 01:35:21,049
Which may already
be the case after this matter
1584
01:35:21,132 --> 01:35:23,134
has been fully reviewed
by the board.
1585
01:35:28,139 --> 01:35:30,141
Can I come in?
1586
01:35:31,601 --> 01:35:36,898
(Tandy) You know, I had
my first coaching job
1587
01:35:36,981 --> 01:35:38,983
when I was 22 years old.
1588
01:35:42,362 --> 01:35:46,449
This is the only job
that I have ever had.
1589
01:35:46,532 --> 01:35:49,285
It's all I know how to do.
1590
01:35:53,873 --> 01:35:55,458
What can I do for you?
1591
01:35:55,541 --> 01:35:57,126
That's what
