About

Situated a mile apart along the same stretch of road, two Milwaukee high schools – one predominantly Black and the other largely white, were both short players to field an entire football team. They joined as one and, decades later, against the backdrop of a nation’s painful racial reckoning, unite under the leadership of a unique coach and ultimately learn what it truly means to come together as a team.
