Movie Preview: An All-star Cast brings a Depression era Football Tale to the screen — “12 Mighty Orphans”

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Roger Moore

It’s one of those pieces of early football history, like the legends of Pop Warner and Jim Thorpe and Knute Rockne and “The Gipper.”

“12 Mighty Orphans” recalls a Depression Era football team of over-achievers from a Texas orphanage.

Like Wilson, Vinessa Shaw, Martin Sheen, Treat Williams and Robert Duvall star in this June release from Sony Pictures Classics.
