Harvard Beats Yale 29-29
An extraordinary retelling of one of the most famous college football games in history, Kevin Rafferty’s HARVARD BEATS YALE 29-29 combines rare footage of the wildly unpredictable 1968 game with unguarded, politically-charged recollections from the original players. As actor Tommy Lee Jones (an offensive guard on the Harvard team) puts it, “ideas were flying around like bullets” —- and as becomes clear by the end of the film, this was a social experience that resonated well beyond one Saturday afternoon on the playing field.
