We Are Marshall the film, portrays the aftermath of the 1970 plane crash that killed most of the Marshall University football team, coaching staff and several fans.
Growing up in this area and Marshall being one of the teams we rooted for along with UK (Univ. Of Kentucky) I felt some kind of connective spirit with this movie. When I was a boy my dad worked for the local newspaper and we went out to the plane crash site the next morning. I will never forget it. It was devastating to the whole tri-state area.
Much of the film was made right here in downtown Huntington. I just got back from viewing it and you won't be dissappointed to see this film.
