Friday Nights In America

Drawing crowds that outnumber attendance at professional and college games combined, high school football is more than a mere sporting event--it is a full-blown cultural phenomenon that provides a sense of identity to small towns all over America. Blue Hill Productions takes a near-anthropological survey of the importance of high school football to small-town life in their revealing documentary FRIDAY NIGHTS IN AMERICA, travelling to five very different communities to gauge the complex emotions elicited by the sport.
