There's all of that in Remember the Titans, a visceral football movie based on the true story of the forced integration of an Alexandria, Va. High school in 1971.

Remember the Titans takes the story of a real-life South Carolina ...read the complete Remember the Titans movie review at Nitrate Online (Gregory Avery)
