The title alone signals what this film is about, and it’s a must-see for anyone who followed sports in the 1970s. Even those far from Oakland, like in New Hampshire, were captivated by the Oakland A's baseball team and the Los Angeles Raiders football team. These teams weren't just champions; they thrived on a rebellious spirit, marked by clubhouse fights, conflicts with their owner, and a distinctly 1960s vibe. Filmmakers Rick Bernstein and Ross Greenburg explore the stories of these dynamic teams and how they perfectly reflected their city. Oakland was a blue-collar town with a strong connection to the 1960s counterculture, symbolized by groups like the Black Panthers. Oakland was a world apart from the more refined San Francisco across the bay.
