If it’s an old-fashioned ‘inspirational sports drama’ you crave, and you don’t mind the incomprehensible sport of American Football, this true-life yarn could provide the uplift you’re after.
Adapted from the book Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football, it tells the story of the football team of a Fort Worth orphanage who, during the Great Depression, went from playing without shoes – or even a football – to playing for the Texas state championships.
