This is a documentary about the Permian Panthers, a high school football team from a small town in West Texas. It is about the team, kids, and community. It touches on local issues, historic problems of race, and the national economy as the drop in the price of oil severely impacted this oil town. High school football is the center of this town.
There is a soap opera made in the 2000's of the same name, based on the book, which is excellent. It's discontinued now, but we're watching "reruns." We're up to the fifth and final season.
