The Longshots

The Longshots (2008) is a true-story sports drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Fred Durst. It follows Jasmine Plummer (Keke Palmer), who in 2003, at age eleven, became the first girl to play in a Pop Warner football tournament in the competition's 56-year history.

Her coach is her uncle (Ice Cube) — a former athlete who's been running on empty for years. He doesn't see Jasmine's potential at first. She doesn't wait for him to. Durst keeps the film grounded rather than inspirational in the usual sense — the uncle's arc is as central as Jasmine's, and Ice Cube plays it straight without leaning on charm.
