The year is 1973, and Jim Ellis (Terrence Howard), a college-educated African-American, can?t find a job. Driven by his love of competitive swimming, Jim converts an abandoned recreational pool hall in a Philadelphia slum with the help of Elston (Bernie Mac), a local janitor. But when city officials mark the new Philadelphia Department of Recreation for demolition, Jim fights back ? by starting the city?s first African-American swim team. Recruiting troubled teens from the streets, Jim struggles to transform a motley team of novices into capable swimmers ? all in time for the upcoming state championships. But as racism, violence and an unsympathetic city official threaten to tear the team apart, Jim must do everything he can to convince his swimmers that victory, both in and out of the pool, is within their reach?

Pride is an inspiration to everyone and I knowing the different between hate and love, and to becoming more from friends to family with one another to be in a good home living beside their pasts behind. Truthful inspiration on the history for the works and creations made from African Americans living beyond around the world. Most important focus is about love and friendship between black and white going up facing against racism & hate and finding faith and equality while everything still takes time to get every person in every local society to put them to the end. Even when it's hard or impossible to understand those difference, that's someone's choice to want to move forward with better goals in life. I love this movie a lot I used to watch it all the time because it's inspiration which help me want to purse getting my life together having a professional career.

True stories of OVERACHIEVEMENT from an urban environment perspective always inspires me. Bernie Mac has a performance thats is 2nd to none as well as Terrance Howard & Kimberly Ellis. You will NOT! be disappointed in watching Biography.
