Recently, there has been a strong trend appearing in your local cineplex–films that actually inspire audience members to look at their surroundings and take a small step toward improving their condition. These stories are typically about average people who motivate others by a simple desire to live in a better world. The life lessons that they have learned about respect, discipline and dedication to something they believe in draws others out of their comfort zones and unites the common man to do the right thing – just because it’s right. “Pride” doesn’t disappoint in this endeavor. Struggling against all odds, the kids in this film band together and support each other and learn Pride, Determination, and Respect.

While the film’s creators took great care to avoid many objectionable words and phrases in a desire to make this film as family friendly as possible, we do have to strongly caution parents that the situations faced and language used is sometimes raw and uncomfortable. However, we feel that the events portrayed and profanities spoken were not gratuitous. Rather, they clearly show the stark reality of the racism and attitudes of both sides during a troubling time of growth in our country’s recent past.
