This 2000 movie, based on a true story, “ultimately revolves around two ‘men of honor’; their relationship, their individual and joint failures and triumphs. Carl Brashear is determined to be the first African American Navy diver in a time where racism is rife. Leslie Sunday is his embittered trainer, determined to see him fail. Fate, challenges and circumstances eventually draw these two men together in a tale of turbulence and ultimately triumph.” (quoted from http://www.imdb.com) Carl is played by Cuba Gooding Jr.;  Sunday by Robert De Niro.
