The following summary is from the Internet Movie Database website, imdb.com :
Fordson follows a high school football team from Dearborn, Michigan, as it prepares for its big cross-town rivalry game during the last ten days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The story is set at Fordson High School, a public school, which was once all white, but now boasts a 98% Arab-American population. As we follow the team on the road to victory, Fordson unearths the story of a community desperately holding onto its Islamic faith while struggling to gain acceptance in post 911 America. Fordson is an unprecedented glimpse inside the lives of a community that is home to the largest concentration of Arabs in any city outside of the Middle East, and their determination to hold on to the American Dream.
