Undefeated

Undefeated
(2012) [Trailer]
Directors: Daniel Lindsay [IMDB], T.J. Martin [IMDB]

There are a few documentaries that came out in 2012 that I really wanted to see, but never got the chance too... Undefeated is one of them. I saw the trailer for this awhile back and immediately thought it looked like a real life version of Season 4 in Friday Night Lights, which is one of the greatest television programs of all time. So why would I not want to see it?

Synopsis: A high school coach struggles to build a successful football program in the inner city of West Memphis.

This is a fantastic documentary and just an overall enjoyable experience. Most effective documentaries have a strong character who is an interesting subject to watch on camera... Coach Bill Courtney is that man. He is so sincere and genuinely cares about, not only building a great team, but making a difference in his players lives. The team dynamic is robust but there are few members that tend to get the focus of the film. Watching the way things unfold over the season is captivating and there's definitely a few tear jerking moments in Undefeated's run time.

If you like docs, this is a must see and highly recommended by me.
