Rudy is a 1993 film directed by David Anspaugh. It is an account of the life of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger who harbored dreams of playing football at the University of Notre Dame despite significant obstacles. It was the first movie the Notre Dame administration allowed shot on campus since "Knute Rockne: All American" in 1940. In 2005 "Rudy" was named one of the best 25 sports movies of the previous 25 years in two polls by ESPN (#24 by a panel of sports experts, and #4 by espn.com users). The real life "Rudy" was reported to struggle with the learning disorder dyslexia. This video is an example of the power of faith, hope and optimism in pursuing your dreams despite the obstacles.
