KINGS OF INDIANA
Deep inside America’s most basketball-crazed state, in the heart of southern Indiana’s Amish/Mennonite country, stands Barr-Reeve High School. Despite being one of the state’s smallest remaining schools, Barr-Reeve’s hard-working Amish/Mennonite athletes have their program on the cusp of a championship. Led by a no-nonsense head coach, the Vikings embark on a new season with sights set on capturing their elusive first crown. Narrated by Grammy nominated CCM recording artist David Crowder, this inspirational documentary pays tribute to small town Americana.
