Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward will star in a new documentary called SEC Storied: “Becoming Hines Ward.”
The documentary reveals the untold story of Ward’s upbringing. The film, directed by Jeremy Williams, debuts Tuesday, July 21 at 7 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
“This isn’t just a football story,” Williams said in an ESPN press release. “Underneath the Super Bowl wins and NFL career was a really personal story about identity, family and belonging. The more we dug in, the more we realized how much he had overcome – not just as an athlete, but as a biracial kid growing up between cultures and later becoming an unexpected symbol of hope in South Korea.”
