The original Hoosiers.
Most people never saw the version initially released. It told the story of a group of poor, ghetto black kids in South Bend, enduring years of racism, terrible schools and broken families, who come together over the one thing that gives them hope -- basketball.
Overcoming systemic racism, they make the Indiana State Finals, against a team of privileged white kids from an excellent school, nice homes and stable families. Their talent should have made the game a blow out, but racist refs keep the game close. In the last sequence, the refs ignore a mugging - obvious foul - and let the white team steal the ball. In a final heartbreak, some preppy kid who had only played part of the year after ditching his teammates, hits a lucky shot, and once again the dreams of kids who had faced a struggle all their lives are shattered.
When the movie was released, audiences found it too depressing. So the producers pulled it, did a hasty re-edit around a storyline of the privileged kids once again getting things to go their way, and it became a typical Hollywood fairy tale instead of a gritty, heartbreaking look at another lost American dream.
