TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

What an awe inspiring story! This film has so much heart and faith to it. The entire struggle that these kids go through and the pressure that is put on their shoulders for them to be the best at their sport is portrayed realistically well here. There were many scenes that made me tear (from allergies of course...) Also, I have to say that Rockey Black did a superb job playing as the coach along with the cast of players. The female writer/director Janaya Black is just plain brilliant. The best part of this film that I enjoyed the most, is when God/Jesus is introduced during the height of conflict. For me, it was just pure icing on the cake. Very well done. RECOMMEND. *****

Heart and Hope

Solid sports drama that faces the realities of life without stealing any hope from its audience. Definitely a great watch for more than just fans of basketball.

A really enjoyable sports movie that's worth a watch

Warrior Pride is a very motivational and uplifting story that gets you absorbed in the characters and their struggles. A really enjoyable sports movie that's worth a watch.

Heart & Drive

I love sports movies. They bring me into a world I don't know a lot about with characters who have heart and drive. "Warrior Pride" has both heart and drive as it tells the story of Dylan Baxter, a basketball coach who needs to keep his team from falling apart as he pushes them harder and harder towards the national championship. This indie feels real and is directed/shot with a street level vibe and a cast that feels natural. No one feels out of place, this is a diverse cast of real people that help ground the story and make it believable. The movie is good for the whole family and has a through-line of faith. I highly recommend it for fans of sports flicks.

Slam Dunk Good Family Film!

Check out this cool little sports themed movie about a Coach who pushes with heavenly grace his team of basketball players to a national championship. The stuff the diverse kids go though is inspirational and WARRIOR PRIDE is something the whole family could watch and take away a few life lessons. What first grabbed me about this faith driven melodrama about Coach's drive to the basket of redemption was how well the production value was. Typically some of these low budget films from nowhere you have to suffer through some tough situations to focus on the story but WARRIOR PRIDE took this sports/faith themed movie to the House and made a slam dunk with me! Good job 4 stars!
