You can heal all wounds with a fight song.
In late March of 1984, a moving company secretly packed up the Baltimore Colts’ belongings and its fleet of vans sneaked off in the darkness of the early morning. Leaving a city of deeply devoted fans in shock and disbelief. What caused owner Robert Irsay to turn his back on a town that was as closely linked to its team as any in the NFL? Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barry Levinson, himself a long-standing Baltimore Colts fanatic, will probe that question in light of the changing relationship of sports to community. Through the eyes of members of the Colts Marching Band, Levinson will illustrate how a fan base copes with losing the team that it loves.

This is a fascinating documentary about the Baltimore Colts Band that refused to stop playing after the Colts left town. The reason I didn't quite like it as much as I should is that this is very much half the story. It's great these people love football this much. I'm glad for them. Good for them for persisting. But it's hard to take a completely positive stance knowing how much pro sports leagues gouge city and state budgets and this film virtually ignores that.
