Synopsis by Perry Seibert
This documentary examines how the pressures placed on high schools with big-time football programs have led to a possibly lethal environment for the kids on the field, specifically in regard to a rash of injuries and deaths caused by heat stroke. These issues are examined while the cameras follow an Arkansas high-school squad through a season.
