Walking On Dead Fish

(variance films) Release Date: September 5, 2008 Director: Franklin Martin Plot: In this heartwarming documentary about a high school football team that takes in 20 rival players after their schools (and homes) are devastated by Hurricane Katrina. When the coach declares that all positions are open, even those held by seniors, the new students are grateful but the others worry that their playing time, and chances for college scholarships, are in jeopardy. But rather than turn bitter, or focus on the racial and economic differences between them, the young men band together to form a new team. They learn to play together (and begin winning), and they help to heal the storm-battered town in the process. Genre: Documentary, Sport Website: link
