ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Based on the true story, Ty Roberts' 12 MIGHTY ORPHANS follows 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 ultimate underdogs became an inspiration to their city, state, and entire nation. Fort Worth Report raves, "You'll stand up and cheer!"

SYNOPSIS
