It was about a girls basketball program in Oklahoma in 1964. I reccomend it to every sports fan.

In a conservative small town, a young man's wish to coach high school basketball are tweaked by a school board decision that makes him the new coach of the girls' team.

The movie is based on a true story and a book written about the coach by his uncle.
"Believe in Me." Based on the real life story of Harold Keith’s nephew, Jim Keith, ’51 ed, "Believe in Me" is set in Oklahoma’s short grass country in 1964, long before women’s sports, basketball in particular, had come of age. When the book was published in 1971, the situation had not improved appreciably since in most schools girls were still playing six-on-six and a married girl was automatically excluded from extra-curricular activities.

"The decency of the people in Harold Keith’s book and the civil rights aspect for women really appealed to me," Collector says. "In a day and time when I think money has ruined sports, the fact that I could make a movie about people who wanted to play purely for the love of the game really inspired me."

I saw this movie, too! It was a great one to watch! Movies like this one that are based on fact are the ones that are really great to see.
