"Undefeated." The film won the top award Sunday night at the 84th Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood. The documentary chronicled the 2009 season of Manassas High, a struggling inner-city program in North Memphis.
The team is coached by Bill Courtney, a Memphis businessman who owns a local lumber company. Through tough love and leadership, Courtney helps shape the lives of his players, many of whom live in poverty and come from broken homes.
T.J. Martin, one of the film's co-directors, dropped an F-bomb on stage while accepting the award. Video of that moment is after the jump.
The gentleman on the far left in the video (wearing the bow tie) is ESPN college football analyst Ed Cunningham, who was a producer on the film.
It's definitely a great documentary. Loved watching it.
If you haven't seen it, do it. Definitely worth the watch.
