Facing the GiantsThe main lesson of the movie is equality. Two teams (one all white and one all black) come together, but are very hesitant because of the racial differences. The coach has had enough of the mistreatment the guys give each other, so he lectures them about what it takes to be a team. After that, the guys put past their differences and inequalities and became a team.
