I’m a mighty warrior !!
12 Mighty Orphans is a movie inspired by a true story about a football coach (Luke Wilson) who dedicates his life to an orphanage. From there, he starts training the kids in football and leads them to the top. Their incredible determination, despite all their hardships and past struggles, helps them overcome everything together with their new family, the Mighty Mites. This film is perfect to watch when you’re feeling powerless, disappointed, or angry because it really boosts your spirit and is super inspirational. I was pretty moved watching it 🥲
