National Champions

In this gripping sports drama directed by Ric Roman Waugh, the story unfolds over the course of 72 hours leading up to a major college football championship game. The plot centers around a star quarterback, played by Stephan James, who ignites a players’ strike to demand fair compensation and rights for student-athletes. The film features a strong ensemble cast, including J.K. Simmons and Uzo Aduba, who bring depth to this timely narrative about power, ethics, and the business of college sports. While the movie has not received any major awards, it offers a thought-provoking look at the intersection of sports and social justice. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
