What happens

Remember the Titans is a 2000 American biographical sports drama film directed by Boaz Yakin and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The screenplay by Gregory Allen Howard is loosely based on the true story of coach Herman Boone, portrayed by Denzel Washington, and his attempt to integrate the T. C. Williams High School (now Alexandria City High School) football team in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. Will Patton portrays Bill Yoast, Boone's assistant coach. Real-life athletes Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell are portrayed by Ryan Hurst and Wood Harris, respectively. The film was co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Technical Black Films and released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. On September 19, 2000, the film's soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records. It features songs by several recording artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, The Hollies, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Shocking Blue, The Temptations, Cat Stevens, Buck Owens, and Steam. Remember the Titans had a budget of $30 million and premiered in theaters nationwide in the United States on September 29, 2000. It grossed an estimated $115.6 million in the U.S., and $136.8 million worldwide. While the film was not particularly well-received at the time, it is now considered to be one of the greatest football films of all time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
