OT - "Fordson" extended trailer / Fordson football documentary

I don't think this has been posted yet. Stumbled across this this afternoon. It features Baquer Sayed, who walked onto UM's squad this fall: I know someone had posted a link earlier this year to an article on Fordson's two-a-days held at night during Ramadan. This documentary looks very intriguing. Having graduated from Dearborn Divine Child back in '02 and having a number of good friends to this day that went to Fordson (and Dearborn as well), I'm very familiar with the rivalry between those schools (the term "cakeeater" gets thrown around a lot) and the racial tension in the city. Anyway, I just thought this might be interesting.

I'm sure that this documentary will be very polarizing, especially to those that grew up or went to school in Dearborn, but if the subject matter weren't compelling, it wouldn't be worth watching.  It's very clearly pro-Fordson, and most of the kids I went to school with would describe how the school is portrayed in that film as inaccurate, but it just goes to show you how thick the social tension is in this particular area.
