Football Town: Barrow Alaska (2015)
Excellent show, should have had more episodes.
Great story about living in such a rugged place and how football means everything to them. They rushed passed the best part of their season when they were stomping on teams. That is my only complaint. Very moving story. You can tell that the coach dedicates his whole life to the team and that the kids buy in to the pride of the community. Prior to their being football in Barrow, they had a huge drop out rate and high alcoholism. Football is great for this community as it is dark 3 months out of the year and it snows even in the Summer. One episode showed how close knit this community is when they rallied to save a guy's house from fierce waves. This series is a must. I hope they do more of these over the next several months. Very good series. Go Whalers.
