Passing Glory (1999)
Overview
A true story of a priest (Andre Braugher) in New Orleans who formed a group of black players and challenged an all-white prep school basketball team in the 1960's.

Directed by Steve James (Hoop Dreams), these basketball players didn't just make shots, they made history.
