Mean Machine (2001)

The film presents a classic underdog narrative centered on redemption and teamwork within a prison setting. While it critiques abusive authority figures, its primary focus is on individual and collective resilience through sport, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or systemic critique.

The movie features a visibly diverse cast, particularly within the prison inmate population, but does not appear to engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative centers on a male-dominated environment without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
