I just finished watching "We Are Marshall", recently released to premium cable after a theater run earlier this year.
EXCELLENT movie! It details the tragedy that Marshall University's football team suffered after a charter plane carrying almost the entire team, coaches, fans, and supporters crashed just short of a West Virginia runway, killing all 75 aboard.
The story documents the tragedy, and how Marshall University rebuilt it's football program after this devastating loss. The story is fascinating.
What I found to be the best part of the movie is that they used real footage. Some people who were involved in this whole ordeal had cameos in the movie. And at the end, they showed the actual person side by side with the actor playing that character.
Add this movie to your list!
