The Unforgotten

In Selma, Alabama, football is something approaching divine. The sport that pulls everyone in. For Morgan Academy’s senior quarterback Caden Tellier, football and church were among his favorite things. That is, until Caden died because of a by-the-book tackle on his home field. Football is one of the most popular sports in America, and one of the most dangerous. So how do we find peace in loving a game that kills?
