Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is a American drama film released in 2000. It was directed by Boaz Yakin, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Walt Disney Pictures, and starred Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone. Remember the Titans centers around racial tensions in the football team of the newly integrated T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia. The movie is based on actual events that took place in 1971, when T.C. Williams and the Titans won the state championship.
It is rated PG for "thematic elements," mild violence, and some crude language.
This movie sends a positive message that says that people of different races can collaborate and succeed. Since it is a true story, it is a sign that things have seriously improved since the days of Jim Crow.
