Nimrod Mania: Sundance Channel Documentary Series to Feature Watersmeet Nimrods
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Sundance Channel founder Robert Redford announced Thursday the production of an eight-part documentary series celebrating a small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and its high school basketball team. "Nimrod Nation," is scheduled to air on the cable channel in 2007 and will be set in Watersmeet (located on the Wisconsin-Michigan border). The tiny town and the gung-ho fans of the Watersmeet Nimrods have gained national attention through a series of commercials for ESPN.
