Review From Test Screening
I was honored to be invited to attend this amazing documentary of the internal struggle of a band of Penn State football brothers who refused to let the life and legacy of Penn State football be determined by anyone outside of the Lasch building. We all knew in our hearts that these 18-22 year olds were audaciously gifted and strong, but there was more than a speech by Mauti & Zordich holding them together. Everyone who loves Penn State must watch this movie. Every student athlete must watch this movie. Kids need their own profiles of courage. These men showed the next gen what loyalty, strength, faith, courage, hard work and resilience look like in action. Kids need this movie!
