Black and Blue: The Story of Gerald Ford, Willis Ward, Gerald Ford, and the 1934 Michigan-Georgia Tech Game

When Georgia Tech came to Michigan in 1934, the Wolverines were forced to bench their best player, Willis Ward, because he was an African-American. The incident infuriated Ward's best friend on the team, Gerald Ford. This is the story of two schools, two friends and a game that changed everything. This film blends college football, the quest for equal rights, and the career of a Michigan man who would one day be president
