We Are Marshall

In November of 1970, a plane crash claimed the lives of nearly all members of the Marshall University football team and coaching staff who were returning home from a game in North Carolina. Over thirty years later, director McG (Charlie’s Angels) made a surprisingly sensitive departure from his career in action-comedy to depict the Marshall tragedy in feature form, with a title taken directly from a football cheer. Adopted in mourning, “We are Marshall” took on significant meaning in the rebuilding of not only the team, but the entire campus and football community.
