Set in 1972, 'The Mighty Macs' tells the incredible true story of a sassy 23 year-old tomboy whose life has been filled with a series of setbacks.

Starring Carla Cugino, David Boreanaz and Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn, 'The Mighty Macs' is the uplifting, inspiring and exciting story about the dedication, hard work, sacrifice and determination that lead to the first National Championship in women's college basketball. Part 'Hoosiers', part 'Sister Act', 'The Mighty macs' is a film for anyone who has ever had a dream.
