Inspired by a true-life story, “Coach Carter” is an inspirational account of a controversial high school basketball coach, who received both high praise and staunch criticism when he made national news in 1999 for benching his entire undefeated basketball team for poor academic performance. The real-life Coach Ken Carter (portrayed in the film by Samuel L. Jackson) will also be in attendance at the premiere, as will members of his 1999 Richmond High School team that the movie is based on.
