Whenever you watch a movie, whether it be about love, war, or competition – do you ever find yourself rooting for the underdog? Of course you do, it’s because us humans are hard wired to empathize with the side that isn’t so likely to pull through in the end. We crave a sense of justice, and want to see it done in anything that we see taking place. Looking through history there are many examples of this, and when brushing up on our history we generally tend to lean towards the stories where the underdog prevails! <\/p>\n
