I filmen, som er baseret på virkelige hændelser, tager producentern Jerry Bruckheimer (Armageddon, Gone In Sixty Seconds, The Rock) os med tilbage til USA i 70'erne. Samtidig med at landet rammes af raceuroligheder, beslutter skolemyndighederne i Alexandria, Virginia, at byens to race raceadskilte footballhold slås sammen. Det farvede holds træner, Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) ansættes som cheftræner, mens det hvide holds træner, Bill Yoast (will Patton) ansættes som hans assistent. Sammen kæmper disse to mænd, ikke bare mod hinanden, men også mod alle fordommene og for at skabe et footballhold, der kan skrive sportshistorie.
Fordomme stikker deres grimme fjæs frem overalt. Usikkerhed, frygten for de anderledes styrer vores tanker, udløser utryghed, vrede og had. Racismen er katalysatoren, der i løbet af to mørke døgn i L.A. væver tilfældige menneskers liv og død uløseligt sammen. Det er en ond spiral, som vi, der ser filmen, bliver en del af. Når en iransk butiksejer køber en pistol, er vi sikre på, at den skal bruges. Når en mexicansk far giver sin usynlige skudsikre kappe til sin 5-årige datter, er vi overbeviste om, at noget frygteligt vil ske.

I 1979 skrev den amerikanske forfatter James Baldwin (1924-87) et brev til sin forlægger, hvor han beskrev sit næste projekt, Husk dette hus', der skulle fortælle USA's historie gennem tre af hans myrdede venners liv, Medgar Evers, Malmcolm X og Martin Luther King. Bogen blev aldrig skrevet, men den haitianske instruktør Raoul Peck bruger det efterladte manuskript til med Baldwin's egne ord at fortælle en desværre sørgelig aktuel historie om USA's racistiske historie.

In this collection of interviews with some of America's most conservative black pundits, white director Justin Malone presents his vision of being black in America. Featuring politicians, lobbyists, ministers, some unqualified random people (even an alleged sex pest), the film explores their choice to navigate the world as one of America's most self-resenting identities: the American Black Conservative.
