Hollywood Life journalists have gathered all the information you need to know about «American Sweethearts» below.
According to Netflix, the synopsis reads: «Since 1961, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have captivated audiences with their dynamic dance, becoming an iconic squad both on and off the field.

«American Sweethearts» was directed by «Cheer» filmmaker Greg Whiteley, who told Netflix: «The kind of access and creative freedom we need to create the work we want to do is not easy to come by — especially when it comes to such a major brand like the Dallas Cowboys.

The result is an authentic portrait of one of the most famous and beloved institutions we have in American pop culture».
