What happens when you don't cut and run? What happens if you fight like all hell instead? Marshall University found out and their story is the ECM Movie of the Week.
We Are Marshall begins on a serious note with tragedy interspersed with sport. A plane returning from Greenville, North Carolina crashed into a mountain near Huntington, West Virginia. Everyone aboard perished...players, coaches and fans of the Marshall University Football team. The entire town is absolutely devastated. The school's board of directors decide to put an end to the program before one of the players (who remained in Huntington) intervenes. He finds support in the entire town and also Marshall's President Donald Dedmon.
After much hard work, Dedmon finds Jack Lengyel to be the new Thundering Herd coach. But winning isn't easy...and the cut and run option looks very VERY inviting...sound familiar?
Even if you're not a football fan you'll love this movie! Here is the trailer!
Good video I found.
