(Highlights only) This documentary paints a compelling portrait of Taurean Charles, a high school football player for Miami’s Northwestern Bulls. Located in Miami’s impoverished Liberty neighborhood, Northwestern high has a history as a breeding ground for college football and NFL players. Led to believe that football is his only ticket out, Charles focuses all his efforts on earning a place on a Division I collegiate team, letting his grades suffer in the process. But if Charles can’t raise his SAT score to meet the NCAA’s standards, he might never escape his inner city life. As Charles struggles to meet demands from his coaches, family, and society, he wonders who he can actually trust. YEAR OF THE BULL reveals the immense pressures facing poor black youth, and exposes the violent and cruel methods used by coaches to push young athletes.

“February Song”
(polinar)

Come whisper softly
come sweep me off my feet
go ahead fulfill my dreams
but tread through my fragile heart gently
i’m so in love with you

I’ve been through it all
been through the hurricane
been in this storm for far too long
come ease the hurt and pain
i’m so in love with you

i get so weak
i feel it at the knees
when you start to speak
soothing words to my soul
digging deep you cure it all

you’re running through my veins
i just cannot contain
like a burst of flames
i feel this glow every time you call
