Pride (2007)

This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss Pride (2007). In 1970s Philadelphia, Jim Ellis (Terrence Howard), who is driven by a love of competitive swimming, saves an abandoned pool building with the help of a janitor named Elston (Bernie Mac). When city officials mark the place for demolition, he fights back by founding an all-black swim team. Facing racism, violence, and a hostile city official, Jim struggles to prepare his novice swimmers for the state championships.
