Television: Kenny Chesney's High School Football Documentary “Boys of Fall” on ESPN

This Sunday, Aug. 29, Kenny Chesney’s 60-minute documentary on high school football “Boys of Fall” will premiere on ESPN. Check listings for air time. 

“Making this film had been an incredible journey for me and everyone involved. Interviewing the men in this film has made me look at my own life in a different way. I hope people out there get as much out of watching this film as I did making it!" - Kenny Chesney  

Shooting began in fall 2009 as Chesney compiled football interviews and footage for the video for his new single "The Boys of Fall," from the new album ‘Hemingway’s Whiskey,’ out Sept. 28. After shooting footage of friend and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton at his high school alma mater, Chesney decided to expand the video into a full documentary film. Over the next several months, he shot select high school games as well as conducted interviews with stars such as Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, John Madden, Tony Dungy, Bill Parcells, Nick Saban, Mack Brown, Jim Tressel and Bobby Bowden.
