Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream

With frankness and compassion, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist H.G. Bissinger’s national bestseller chronicles the dramatic 1988 season of the Permian Panthers–the winningest high school football team in Texas history. Friday Night Lights shows how the town’s singleminded devotion to the team shapes the community and inspires (or shatters) the teenagers who wear the uniforms. Featured on “Sixty Minutes.” 26 halftones.
