This is not a perfect sports documentary - despite having Freeman as narrator and despite the power of the subject matter, the film feels little too much like your typical talking heads/archival footage documentary. But the subject matter is so powerful that you stop caring about the conventional, paint-by-numbers nature of the documentary. If you have ever wondered about the importance of sports, if you have ever thought that sports don't matter, that they're silly, and so forth, watch this film. More than perhaps almost anything else I've ever seen, this film captures the power of sports as a uniting force for people of different backgrounds - in this case, people who felt like they were enemies. Wonderful.
