Football Team Stars In New Doc

When I say there’s a new documentary called “Undefeated,” I’m not talking about the Sarah Palin commercial that was released with a thud in July. I’m talking about what people are calling a deeply touching 90-minute film about Memphis’s Manassas Tigers, an African-American high-school football team trying to up their wins amidst personal struggles. Jeffrey Wells says: ‘The main “characters” are “Money” Brown, a right tackle who suffers a torn ligament halfway through his senior season. An angry junior named Chavis Daniels who did time in a youth jail during his sophomore year. And O.C. Brown, a 280-pounder (he reminds you of the kid in “The Blind Side”) who has the best shot at a college football scholarship but who has problems getting decent grades.’
