Undefeated

Undefeated, a story of a High-school Football team and it's inspiring Coach, to my surprise was neither cliched nor cheesy. If you have The Blind Side in your mind then get it out right away, this is genuinely tender and uplifting. Bill Courtney belongs on the 'cinemas greatest heroes' list. What he does is so inspiring, the fact that it is American football doesn't really matter, so if you're not a fan don't worry, I'm certainly not but it didn't matter one bit. It's a film about people, not sport or winning or being the best, just people. It's a great documentary and I can see why it won at the Oscars.
