If you want a feel-good 100 minutes, do watch Next Goal Wins. (I saw it on Apple TV.) About a demoted soccer coach whose career plunged, the story follows him to the American Samoa team that lost to Australia, 31-0. Far below a low rank, the team is a lovable group of players that appear to have little chance of any victories. Correspondingly, the man sent to save them is also somewhat hopeless. However, when the two are paired, amazing things happen. Do take a look.
