Based on a
true story adapted from H.G. Bissinger's book, «Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Dream and a Team», director and co-screenwriter Peter Berg (Very Bad Things, The Rundown) uses shaky
camera work to give the effect of realism, mixed with a stylized delivery of high school football
action that takes this simple small - town story and makes it feel important, like Hoosiers for football fans.
