Players of two football teams celebrate together in an outdoor stadium.

A small Cajun town in rural Louisiana holds an annual exhibition football game between the majority Black public school and majority White private school called the Tee Cotton Bowl. This meditative small town portrait examines racial segregation and a range of perspectives on the game as to whether it should continue to be celebrated as it has been. Please note this title contains racial epithets.
