Encouraging movie. Inspirational story.

Warning: Spoilers
Based on true events amid the wreckage and chaos dealt by Hurricane Katrina; one basketball coach in Marrero, Louisiana just will not give up. Coach Al Collins(Forest Whitaker), gathers other players from hard-hit schools and builds a team actually worthy enough to go to the state playoffs. A very honest look at what can be done with the right people having the desire and fortitude to pick up and start over again. Just getting the players, that under normal circumstances would be rivals, to mesh together into a solid playing unit was no easy task. Along with stars like Isaiah Washington, Courtney B. Vance, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Gaston and Taraji P Henson is rapper Lil' Wayne and singer Bow Wow. Many heroes have surfaced from the bowels of Katrina's wrath...some just happened to belong on a basketball court. HURRICANE SEASON is well worth your time.
