The Trotter Multicultural Center has recently been selected by PBS, an independently operated non-profit organization and the most prominent provider of television programs to public television stations in the United States, to screen a series of powerful documentaries and to facilitate a dialogue afterwards about the themes addressed.

In Football We Trust intimately follows four Polynesian high school football players in Utah struggling to overcome gang violence, family pressures, and poverty as they enter the high stakes world of college recruiting and the promise of pro sports. The odds may be stacked against them, but they’ll never stop fighting for a better future.

Following the film, we will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Haloti Ngata, about the film and the intersection of sports and social change. Popcorn will be provided during the film and dinner afterwards. Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and join us at Trotter!
