It has been so long since I have seen those films. As I recall, those films were fictional, and there were no suggestions that they were based on any specific, true story. I would suggest an analogy: I have seen many killings in film, and they have very little impact. Witnessing a actual live killing, either live or on television, leaves a more lasting impact. I think the same applies here. There have certainly been sports films about high school sports, but very few that are non-fiction. I felt that this left more of an impact because you know that the events depicted happened, and are happening every day under your nose.
