Inspired?

There were 2 kinds of people when this film came out? The ones who didn't care & the ones who were influenced for life! I am the latter! I was 11 when I read the book & 12 when I saw the film! My friends almost saw it once? I stayed & saw it 4 times in a row! It was my first real documentary! The only other film that had as much of an impact at that time was "The Exorcist"! However, to me? "Chariots" was a real story & it remains so today!
