Thanks to Amazon Freevee for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
I love few things more than spending time each fall watching quality documentaries and series that better my world perspective. A small tradition Uncle Danny had as a child, and eventually, with me. Time to rewind, relax, and reenvelop my belief in the human spirit each autumn at home. Which, for me, now includes Freevee’s “God. Family. Football” series.
The Freevee six-episode series, titled God. Family. Football., debuting September 1, 2023, created and produced by Aaron Benward of Watershed and Russell Wilson, the Broncos QB, produced by Propagate and Ascending Media Group, shares the coming-of-age story of a group of young, high school Christian athletes, led by Denny Duron, the legendary high school football coach and former American football player who played for the Louisiana Tech from 1970 to 1973. Later he served as a head football coach at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri, from 1977 to 1982.
Currently, serving as the chancellor at Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana. Returning from retirement to oversee the football team he started in the southern community of Shreveport, Louisiana. Helping the student-led effort to recover from a decades-long slump, as seen in the brutal 0-9 2020 season. Coach Denny comes out of retirement at seventy to commander the team into a better, more well-rounded program. Changes that lead to drama along the way.
With an optimistic outlook toward life, Coach Denny inspires the new team to rally around him in his calling for youth-led greatness. Encouraging players to take up the mantle of post-pandemic high school sports, while learning to become the great team and teammates, the veteran player knows his fledgling team can become.
Alongside Denny, a number of different student-athletes are also interviewed throughout the season. Featuring a myriad of troubling moments for the adolescent players, as well. Plus, a sprinkling of romance, in and off the field, too. As players explore and compare their roles as student-athletes, and adolescents, along with being Christian adolescents. As the series progresses, the student-athletes rely on football, with its many practices, to guide them down both the field- of life and the game.
This docuseries features much on-the-field tribulation, from tackles to plays, sharing the progression of the players throughout the season. With the tribulations of adolescence shaping both the time and scoreboard. The varied synchronicities of life on and off the field. The final episode shares a montage of various unseen episodes of the student’s season-long turnaround.
God. Family. Football. uses the medium of film to reeducate viewers on the sport as well as a reference for facing the problems facing small-town southern life. It’s as much about a high school football team’s personal and sports comeback. A mission leading not only to a football program’s reemergence in forming a new, stellar national prominence but also speaks to the heart of personal growth for players and coaches alike. The academy, winners of 29 District Championships, 14 State Championships, and 1 National Title, had its worst season in 2020, scoring 0-9. It turned its team around a year later, as Duron came out of his 30-year retirement to lead the football program, and its students, to excellence on and off the field.
Executive Producer Russell Wilson was inspired by “Duron’s faith-first approach to the game.” An overall winning formula for success, is “God first, family second, and football third.” The docuseries shows that football, indeed, matches the season-long belief. Giving more than a cursory glance into where the game of football displays the rigors the young men will take throughout their lives.
Learning about the players’ personal lives, God. Family. Football also shares how many of Evangel Christian Academy’s best and brightest behave on and off the field. From pep talks and training sessions, to harder issues over life choices, this series has something for everyone. Showcasing the team’s beautifully delivered and continued message of God and glory, mixed with Southern charm and friendliness shown as both solid and palpable for viewers of all ages. God. Family. Football establishes a genuine sense of camaraderie between the players and inspires viewers, too! The docuseries present this team in all of their togetherness-perfect for viewers of all ages.
