Well Done Documentary On Why Nile Kinnick Is A Legend Beyond Football

Superb documentary about Nile Kinnick, which covers his entire life, from boyhood in Adel, Iowa, to his glory years at the University of Iowa with him winning the Heisman trophy in 1939, and into his military service during World War 2, where he tragically lost his life at the age of only 24. This documentary is much more than a football story. In an age where most Heisman Trophy winners are only thinking about padding their bank accounts, Kinnick said no to the NFL, and pondered how he could help his fellow man. Then, when war broke out, how he could help his country. Loaded with many rare photos, the documentary is well written, expertly produced, and will hold your interest, even if you are not a football fan. It leaves you wondering what Nile Kinnick could have become and could have accomplished had his life not been cut short at such a young age, and why he is so revered.

The sport genre features the world of sports, capturing the excitement, competition, and personal journeys of athletes, coaches, and teams. The stories cover a wide range of sports and activities, each with its own unique characteristics and themes.
