In Football We Trust

Samoans and Tongans are 28 times more likely than any other minority group to play football for the famed NFL. Four years, four talented Polynesian high school football players are filmed as they strive towards professional recruitment. Their speedy transformation from adolescence to adulthood in the high-stakes world of collegiate football is filmed with incredible access, shining a light on the extreme pressures to succeed, both from within the Polynesian community and outside. Gang violence, addiction, and poverty are constant threats to the dream of playing in the NFL. Not everyone makes it to the big time.
