A true story of a priest (Andre Braugher) in New Orleans who formed a group of black players and challenged an all-white prep school basketball team in the 1960's. Eventually events like these signaled the pivotal turn in the games' history leading to the integration in today's sport. Directed by Steve James (Hoop Dreams), these basketball players didn't just make shots, they made history. (Amazon.com)

A top notch story about one Catholic priest's (Braugher) quest to break the segregation barrier among high school basketball teams in New Orleans in the tumultuous 1960s. Superb cast with Andre Braugher, Rip Torn, and Ruby Dee. Based on actual events. I'd highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in sports movies and the role segregation played in prohibiting white and black teams from competing against one another.
