In a racially divided South Carolina town in 1976, a high school football coach befriends a young man with an intellectual disability and brings him into the life of the team and school. As their bond grows, the coach faces criticism from people who worry his attention is distracting from the team’s championship hopes.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like heartfelt sports dramas about friendship, compassion, and community, such as Remember the Titans; Not for you if you prefer nuanced stories that avoid sentimentality.
