ABOUT THE MOVIE:
P.D.R., which stands for Philadelphia Department of Recreation, is based on the inspirational true story of Jim Ellis, a swim coach and youth mentor who built a successful swimming program in one of Philly’s most impoverished neighborhoods in the 70’s.
Mr. Ellis became the coach at P.D.R. in 1971, a time when the lives of young African-American teens in Philadelphia were often full of hardship and prejudice. This is the uplifting and soulful story of Mr. Ellis’ journey that pulled together a group of troubled inner-city kids, made them into a dedicated team, and taught them how to overcome adversity through hard word and determination. Jim Ellis taught his P.D.R. swimmers more than just how to compete in the water; he taught them important and life-changing lessons that would prepare them for a better future. But through this emotional journey, Coach Ellis also discovers his team has a lot to teach him as well.
P.D.R. stars recent Oscar nominee Terrence Howard (Hustle and Flow, Crash, Ray) and popular comedian turned actor Bernie Mac (The Bernie Mac Show, Kings of Comedy, Ocean’s Eleven). Both actors have worked in New Orleans previously; Howard as part of the cast of Ray and Mac during the filming of Mr.3000.
