Hollywood made a move about Ken Carter called Coach Carter.   Carter was played by Samuel L. Jackson.  The movie was about Carter triumphing over the challenges as a basketball coach at Richmond High School.

When asked about his reaction to the gang rape, he told CNN that he could see it coming when he coached at the school 10 years ago. 

"Someone (at the school) was asleep at the wheel," he said.

In the CNN interview (below), Carter spoke by telephone to Richmond High School Senior Class President Gina Saechad.   He promised Saechad he would return to the school to help.
