Six Man, Texas is community and commitment and survival. Set against the backdrop of shrinking rural economies, it is a story of tiny towns with schools too small for 11-man football. Over 120 rural schools in Texas play a six-man version. Everyone in town attends, embracing the players as family. This sense of community keeps hope alive in the midst of increasing economic pressures. Three Way School finally succumbs, graduating its last class of eight seniors and ending generations of community pride and continuity. But tiny Aquilla has its first ever Cinderella season. Can Aquilla win, and win what really counts? Can the rural towns of Six Man, Texas keep their schools open and keep playing the game that unifies and defines their small communities?
