Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation

The clips from the two championship matches go on far too long, ultimately proving more numbing than exciting for any but the sport's most ardent fans.

"Spirit Game" covers a lot of territory, which gives it something of an all-over-the-map quality. But the subject matter is always enough to hold our attention.

It's one of those films should be interesting to watch for all viewers, but probably will only have a lasting effect on fans of the sport. The film well shot, with interviews, scenes at the championships, and sports scenes.

There is no doubt that Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation is a solidly engaging and informative work of cinema.
