12 Mighty Orphans

Rated: PG-13
118 minutes; in English; Directed by: Ty Roberts
Starring: Luke Wilson, Robert Duvall, Vinessa Shaw, Martin Sheen
12 Mighty Orphans tells the true story of the Mighty Mites, the football team of a Fort Worth orphanage who, during the Great Depression, went from playing without shoes to playing for the Texas state championships. Over the course of their winning season these underdogs and their resilient spirit became an inspiration to their city, state, and an entire nation in need of a rebound. The architect of their success was a legendary high school coach who shocked his colleagues by giving up a privileged position so he could teach and coach at an orphanage.  Recognizing that his scrawny players couldn't beat the other  teams with brawn, he developed innovative strategies that would come to define modern football.
