The Akron Holy War

"The Akron Holy War" is a feature film documentary about the storied football rivalry between two Akron, Ohio parochial high school football powerhouses and the city that embraces them.
​
Documenting nearly 60 years of history, the film also takes you inside of both schools (Archbishop Hoban and St. Vincent - St. Mary), in the locker rooms and on the field during the week leading up to and culminating in 2016’s game played in front of 20,000 people.
​
The Akron Holy War depicts the true emotion of the game, on and off of the field, told exclusively from the people who have lived it. The Akron Holy War truly is 48 minutes that last a lifetime.
