The U (film)

The U is a 2009 documentary film about the University of Miami's football program produced by Miami-based media studio Rakontur and directed by Billy Corben.

The film premiered December 12, 2009 after the Heisman Trophy presentation on ESPN as a part of their 30 for 30 documentary series.

[1] This film was released on DVD in 2010, both separately and as part of the 30 for 30 box set.

Excerpts from Florida State University's "Seminole Rap" video that initially appeared in the documentary were also cut from the DVD release.

The sequel documents the second rise to glory of the University of Miami in the late 1990s and early 2000s, culminating in its fifth national championship in 2001 followed again by major setbacks to the program, including the 2011 scandal involving rogue booster Nevin Shapiro.
