A few new clips have arrived for the film 12 Might Orphans, which is due to arrive in cinemas this coming Friday, 17th September. The film has quite the cast, which includes Luke Wilson, Robert Duvall and Martin Sheen.
12 MIGHTY ORPHANS tells 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 architect 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 couldn’t beat the other teams with brawn, Rusty developed innovative strategies that would come to define modern football.
The clips showcase the dynamic relationship between coach Rusty Russell (Luke Wilson) and Dr. E.P. ‘Doc’ Hall (Martin Sheen) as they meet for the first time, and introduces team owner Mason Hawk, played by veteran of the silver screen, Robert Duvall.
