A preview of Fathers of Football with filmmaker Bradley Beesley.
Fathers of Football is a heartwarming documentary that explores the triumphs and struggles of life in Wagoner, Oklahoma, a small town where football serves as both the brightest stage and the best ticket out. Set against the backdrop of pervasive poverty and addiction that afflict many rural communities in America, this film captures the profound impact of football on the town and its underdog players. With football as their common purpose, the team unites the town and instills a sense of hope and belief in something greater.
