Undefeated 

Undefeated is a documentary which is about the Manassas American football team who have never won a play off game and aim to win one this year. It fits in to the genre of social realism and sport. It's directed by Daniel Lindsay and T.J Martin and was produced in the year of 2011. It has the themes of hope, character and strength. It is filmed through the means of hand held cameras. This enables it to achieve a honest aspect to the film. There is no narration through the film and it relies on Bill Courtney, The high school football team coach, to be able to take us through the team's journey on the pitch and off the pitch. The method of presenting a true documentary is subjective and is hard to create the reality of the subject but I believe that this gives a very true, honest and gritty portrayal of the Manassas's football team journey.  

The absence of a narrator presents the film in a pure fashion. If there was to be a narrator it could give a different and more structured format. The concept of getting the coach to narrate contributes to the film's pure style. The people's lives and struggles became struggles with the audience. It was heart wrenching to see that "Money" couldn't play football his team because he broke his leg. The team's conflicts were felt through the coach and the coach then emphasized how important this was to us. The audience then was able to see what the coach thought and what the team and the individual thought.
