MIGHTY
ORPHANS
THIS 2021 MOVIE is well worth the watch.
Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football.
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, or even a football, 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, even catching the attention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The coaching of their success was Rusty Russell, a legendary high school coach who shocked his colleagues by giving up a privileged position so he could teach and coach at an orphanage. Few knew Rusty's secret: that he himself was an orphan. Recognizing that his scrawny players could not beat the other teams with brawn, Rusty developed innovative strategies that would come to define modern football.
A decent movie based on a true story with some tweaking for Hollywood entertainment that doesn't distract from a great storyline. DECENT is difficult to find in today's standards of motion pictures and programming.
I'd watch it again and just might do that in a few days. A very good movie in a world filled with unpleasant challenges that can wreck a person.
The worldly stage and society may treat you like trash, but you have value and worth and are meant to be here. You're not trash. You have purpose and meaning. You do matter.
