Photo Caption: DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE presents the documentary, \u201cFathers of Football,\u201d illustrating the important role high school football plays in small-town America.<\/em><\/p>\n
Following the Wagoner Bulldogs in their attempt to win back-to-back Oklahoma state championships, the dramas on the field unfold against the personal dramas experienced by the players and their families.<\/p>\n
Directed by Bradley Beesley, the feature-length documentary weaves together stories of hope, heartbreak, grit and glory as the players of Oklahoma\u2019s number one ranked high school football team, led by their coach, Dale Condict, prepare to defend their state championship title while pondering the unknown future awaiting them after leaving high school behind. Central to its theme of \u201cFootball being more than just a game\u201d is the focus on Condict\u2019s son who battles cancer while dreaming of getting back on the field.<\/p>\n
