A film about the 2004 Army Football team seniors, titled “The Seeds of Victory,” will premiere on ESPN Classic on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 2:30 p.m. (EST) prior to the Army-Air Force game scheduled to air at 3:30 p.m. (EST). It will also air on ESPN2 on Fri., Nov. 4 at 6 a.m. and will have multiple re-airs on ESPNU (times to be announced) during the month of December.
Bombo Sports and Entertainment, a production company that specializes in sports documentaries, produced the film during the 2004-2005 academic year, ending with the graduation and commissioning of the Class of 2005, nicknamed by many as the class of 9/11. The film is not a sports highlight film, but rather a story about these cadets, their lives at the Academy and their reasons for coming to West Point and being part of a wartime Army upon graduation. They discuss their ambitions as future officers, their relationships with each other and the camaraderie they had as a team.
The film is also the only American title in the finals of an international film festival in Milan, "Sport Movies & TV" and is organized by Fédération Internationale Cinéma Télévision Sportifs, an association with 94 member countries - recognized by the International Olympic Committee.
One component of the judging is the results of an Internet vote. Voting takes place at www.sportmoviestv.com. |
