They were popular.
They were the football team.
They decided to choose the ugliest girl in school
and give her "The Award."
You'll never guess what happens unless you see...
The Award.
The Award is a story about some team-mates of a high school football team who decide to present an "award" to the "Ugliest Girl in School."
Based on a real-life incident, the film bears a strong message for youth about moral values, and about compassion for people who are different than themselves. A warm and moving human interest production. For homes, classrooms, libraries, firesides. Of interest to all faiths.
Original music and lyrics.
