but the movie occurs during the Depression, and David McCullough narrates the historical background. Seabiscuit was an undersized horse who came out of nowhere in 1938 to capture the imagination of millions (and beat Triple Crown winner War Admiral). He was a true underdog who reached the pinnacle top after a tough life - the perfect metaphor for Americans struggling in the '30s. (BTW, I saw the movie today and absolutely loved it.)
