In the fall of 1970, a tragic plane crash took the lives of Marshall University's football team, known as the Thundering Herd. Devastated, the school and community bade farewell to football. But determined coaches Jack Lengyel and Red Dawson built a new team from an unlikely group of recruits. This inspirational documentary about the school's tenacious spirit delves into the uplifting story that served as the basis for the film We Are Marshall.
