Must see!

You might think you know the PSU 2012 football story. You don't until you've seen this film. This is told by the players and coaches, not a director who wants to push their thoughts and personal views. This is a must see. We Are!

Inspirational, much more than football

Can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since this saga all went down! Saving the Roar does a great job of taking the audience through the story from beginning to end. But what makes this film even more powerful is the behind the scenes storylines, told directly by the players and coaches themselves, that the public didn't get a chance to see. It really humanizes and puts in perspective the entire saga. The scenes with former Navy Seal Hawk Slater were truly powerful and inspirational - impactful well beyond Penn State and football. This film is relevant for anyone in a leadership position or team/organizational environment.

Powerful and emotional film

Saving The Roar was a really well done film about a story that people only know the surface of. This movie lets the story be told by the people directly involved in it and that makes all the difference. The end result is an inspirational story that any sports fan would love and every sports fan should watch.

Incredible Insight into the Inside Story

You do not need to be a Penn State fan or even a college football fan to see this movie. This is a film about keeping a team together after every student-athlete was granted the ability to leave the team and start immediately at any other school. This is about the players who chose to stay when it would be easier to leave, and their efforts honored the players that came before them, and paved the way for players to come after them.

Had no idea.

I'm a fan of football and love to see what happens behind the scenes, not only on the field. Did not go to PSU but doesn't matter. There is an historical aspect of this that I wasn't expecting and learned so much. Not only about teamwork and tradition, but also about finding inspiration from unexpected places. Just a few minutes longer than i would have liked, but the player back stories are deep and the ending brings it all together very well. Worth it.
