Saltzman Sees...Pride (2007)
Pride
is the true story of the determined Jim Ellis, played by Terrence
Howard, to start a swim team for troubled teens at the Philadelphia
Department of Recreation. As an athlete growing up, he dealt with
racism for being a black athlete trying to be a swimmer. But through
swimming, he finds his true calling as a coach. Bernie Mac, in one of
his final performances on screen, is wonderful, as Pride proves you
don't always make the right choices, but if you fight for what's right
and are determined to succeed, you can come out a winner in life.
John Legend's theme song for the movie is also one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
