'59: The Story of the 1959 Syracuse University National Championship Football Team

This inside look at college football in 1959 follows the Syracuse University football team through their remarkable season. Led by a team captain, who as a young boy in Nazi Germany survived World War II, this improbable tale is at times humorous, other times poignant, but always brutally honest. It is a look back at a young black kid by the name of Ernie Davis, who would blaze a trail and then, tragically, be gone. At the tail end of a decade so rich in culture, we find this unique blend of young men coming together to create a lasting moment in time.
