Nimrod Nation

Winner of the 2007 Peabody Award, this eight-part original documentary series from filmmaker Brett Morgan (The Kid Stays in the Picture) provides a portrait of a small town obsessed with its high school basketball team, The Watersmeet Nimrods. "Nimrod Nation" was filmed in the remote town of Watersmeet, Michigan, where life converges around two things: hunting and high school basketball. "Nimrod Nation" takes in both the unique and universal details of life in Watersmeet and delivers a richly textured portrait of a quintessential American town.
