Pride - Music Montage

Pride is a biopic drama loosely based upon the true story of Philadelphia swim coach James "Jim" Ellis, Pride stars Terrence Howard, Bernie Mac, and Kimberly Elise, and i directed by Sunu Gonera.

Pride is a film that depicts African-Americans succeeding in a sport — swimming — that is still largely dominated by whites. This differs from most other African-American films with sport themes as they usually feature sports where African-Americans have progressed into the mainstream, such as basketball and football. The film brings attention to the often overlooked world of African-American swimmers.
