Messwood

Following the 2019 season of a unique football team formed by two high schools — one white, public and suburban, the other Black, Catholic and urban — Messwood is a sports story that goes deep into how young men come together to navigate the difficult terrain of race, class and boyhood as they try to win on and off the field.
