El deporte y el cine han sido ampliamente discutidos como áreas separadas de estudio. Sin embargo, la relación entre ambos campos no se ha abordado ampliamente. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar cuál es la agenda ideológica detrás de la película The Blind Side (2009) enmarcando la investigación en torno a la última secuencia de la película. Este estudio se posiciona bajo una perspectiva crítica y decolonial y utiliza como metodología principal el análisis textual. El argumento central de esta investigación es que hay una agenda ideológica en The Blind Side que reproduce y apunta a mantener las lógicas y estructuras postcolonialistas dominantes en la sociedad.
