The '91 Roos is a sports documentary focused in Killeen, Texas. exploring the
1991 Killeen Kangaroos high school football team and their journey to their city's one
and only state championship in football. Killeen is a small central Texas town that is
directly adjacent and provides support to Ft Hood, one of the world's largest military
bases. With the Persian Gulf War raging in 1991, soldiers that lived in Killeen were
being sent off to fight, leaving the city almost like a ghost town. In October 1991, the
Luby's Massacre occurred in Killeen, bringing the already depleted city further down by
tragedy. At the time, this was the worst mass shooting in US history. This high school
football team went on a fairy tale type of run during their 1991 season, resulting in
winning a state title and bringing big hope back to a small town in need. Using direct
interviews, narration and archival footage, this film provides an emotional yet
inspirational look at a small town football team and their improbable season.
