Hurricane Season

About This Movie

Hurricane Season (2010) captures the raw determination of a community trying to rise from the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina. It’s not just about basketball; it’s about resilience. Coach Al Collins, portrayed with a gritty authenticity, pulls together a team of mismatched players from devastated schools. The atmosphere is thick with desperation yet laced with hope. There’s a nice pacing that contrasts the chaos outside with the focused drive of the team. The performances feel real, almost documentary-like, which grounds the film in its true events. The practical effects of the storm’s aftermath add a layer of authenticity, really immersing you in that world. It's a solid representation of how sports can unite and heal a broken community.
