Algiers, America: Two-Episode Docuseries Premiere (Hulu Original)

"Algiers, America" is a five-part series that tells the story of a remarkable high school football coach in the center of one of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods, and the community that's fighting together there for hope and survival. Director Jackson Fager has been embedded in Algiers for two years, chronicling the journey of Coach Brice Brown, the Edna Karr Cougars, and their quest for a fifth state championship in six years. Around that narrative are a collection of compelling characters in and out of the school - among them a passionate community leader and educator, as well as a group of families fighting the epidemics of gun violence, death, and incarceration. Altogether, the series is a rare and real, captivating, candid, and sometimes difficult look at life in a community fighting to be defined by triumph, on the football field and far beyond. Executive produced by the creators of "The Last Dance," "OJ: Made in America," "Baltimore Boys," and ESPN's "30 for 30" films, and the former executive producer of "60 Minutes," "Algiers, America" will at once break your heart and inspire you with its gripping tale, unforgettable characters, and tribute to possibility.
