DOLPHINS: 30 for 30: The U

[ldouglas]

I understand why they made it the way they did, but I think there were
a lot of things left out - classic games like the game against FSU in
1987, and too little shown about the turnaround in character that
Butch Davis brought that eventually led to the fifth title. But the
gist was - racial tensions eased by giving underprivileged but
talented and motivated youths a chance to excel in the rich part of
town and revolutionize sport - and the journey of the clash of
cultures.

I should write a synopsis at IMDB :)
