In the spirit of great sports films like McFarland USA, Friday Night Lights, and Remember
the Titans is an untold inspirational story right in our backyards. Forgotten Warriors, A
Decade of Dominance has the potential of being just as impactful, bringing to audiences
this David vs. Goliath-like story. It is of the once forgotten story of one small school within
a reservation winning on the field while impacting the community and the players lives. A
school with only 120 students in one of the poorest counties in California dominated
football winning an unprecedented 5 AIAA State Championships over 10 years! The
team battled social community hurdles in their homes and distrust between ethnicities in
the school system. Their inspiring, heroic, and championship story needs to be shared
with the world.
The documentary film, combined with the campaign to build positive self-esteem, has
the potential to raise awareness across the country about health issues in Native
America and provide exposure to sportsmanship’s lessons. Equally important is our
desire to shed light on the importance of sports programs in shaping the young
impressionable minds of our youth with the many life lessons of winning, losing, and
working together as a team
