Undefeated follows the
journey of young American football players & their coach Bill Courtney.
Their struggles are documented as well as their success.
A key scene in this film is
when Money injured his leg, which resulted in him not playing football for
almost the whole season. This affected the way he felt, his mood & he lost
hope. He felt replaced when someone else joined & wore the shirt with the
number 54 on it. Another key scene is when Chavis apologised to Money in front
of the whole team. Money then started to cry.
This film documents the
emotions of these young players & the coach. I would say this documentary
is an observational documentary.
