In Football We Trust

The Emmy Award-winning film In Football We Trust is an insightful and moving documentary feature film exploring in rich detail the remarkable story behind the Polynesian Pipeline to the NFL.

A contemporary American story, the film transports viewers deep inside the tightly-knit and complex Polynesian community in Salt Lake City, Utah, one of the chief sources for the modern influx of Pacific Islander NFLers. With unprecedented access and shot over a four year time period, the film intimately portrays four young Polynesian men striving to overcome gang violence and near poverty through the promise of American football.

In Football We Trust premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and was broadcast on PBS' Independent Lens series. For viewing options or to host your own screening, visit the film's website for more information.
