Storyline

Following government-mandated desegregation in 1973, Tony Nathan joins fellow African-American students at Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Ala. As violence and anger erupt in the city, Woodlawn football coach Tandy Gerelds allows an outsider to speak to his players. His message of hope and love leads to a spiritual awakening that inspires star athlete Nathan, his teammates and other members of the community to overcome the hate that surrounds them.

Editor's Note

Clocking in as one of the Erwin Brothers' first big successful movies, Woodlawn remains as one of the best faith-based Christian sports movies, alongside other well known titles like Facing the Giants and When the Game Stands Tall. This film takes a rather unconventional angle, addressing the issue of racism during a period of history where a local high school in Alabama is severely divided along racial lines. With a special appearance from Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin and the presence of Hollywood star Jon Voight, this movie shines in multiple ways. I first saw this movie many years ago and still to this day remember the epic touchdown scene, making football feel larger than life on the big screen. I enjoy a good faith-based sports movie, and I think you also will find something to enjoy in Woodlawn!
