(More customer reviews)I saw an advance screening of "1" and highly recommend this documentary. This is exactly the kind of film that helps balance out the negative misperception of public education in America that our public schools are full of underachieving youth. The movie follows a recent season of a football team from a northern California high school, De La Salle, a team which was on a unprecedented 13-year winning streak. From what I understand the school had turned down multiple offers over the years from other notable film makers to document the players and the remarkable coaching staff before granting Mr. O'Hara an "all access pass" to the team. Through elaborate interviews with the players and coaching staff, as well as behind the scenes locker-room and game footage you learn the teams "secret sauce". But thats not really the point of the film. "1" is the story of over-coming adversity through brotherhood, discipline and spirituality that just happens to be focused around football. Should be mandatory viewing at schools across America.
