Ladouceur’s coaching methods were not about winning, but about building responsible men who were honest and loyal to one another. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, the film shows how these bonded individuals cope with the unforeseeable curves life has in store. Though the winning record is an amazing hook, there is solid drama here. The script is based on true events, making the story all the more impressive. Michael Chiklis and Laura Dern co-star.

In the wake of the shootings at Columbine High School, a small town in Luzerne County, Pennsyl- vania elected a charismatic judge who was determined to keep his kids in line. His harsh sentences ripped more than 3,000 children from their families and imprisoned them for years for petty crimes. When one parent dared to ques- tion his brand of justice, it was revealed that the judge had received millions of dollars from the privately owned juve- nile detention centers where the kids were incarcerated. In this documentary, director Robert May exposes the scandal behind the headlines, featuring extensive, exclu- sive access to the judges behind the scheme. Interestingly, the two judges — Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan — agreed to participate in the making of the film, against the advice of their attorneys, while their case was proceed- ing. May also makes a point of focusing on the tragedies that occurred with some of the kids who were sentenced, but his techniques are shaky. He relies too much on talking heads, and intercuts with footage that frequently fails to illuminate or illustrate what the speakers are discussing. Still, the documentary is a disturbing look at the toll cor- rupt justice takes on individuals, families, and society.
