Return of the Thundering Herd (2006)

*** (out of 4)

Documentary about the 1970 Marshall football team that died in a plane crash. I didn't realize this while watching We Are Marshall but this was the very first time that any athletic squad at the university had ever taken a plane and wouldn't you know that it would crash. I'm really not sure why this story has hit me so hard but once again I found myself getting really sad watching this thing. Perhaps it's because I played sports when I was younger so the idea of losing an entire team is something I can think about. The documentary runs 45 minutes and is basically a warm up for the film but it does a nice job at telling the story, which is more unbelievable than anything Hollywood could have written on their own.
