Becoming Hines Ward (2026)
Directed by Jeremy Williams
“Finding peace by facing your past.”
Documentary · 52m
From Super Bowl MVP to a man searching for peace, this is the untold story of Hines Ward—whose journey is defined not by touchdowns, but by identity. The son of a Korean mother and an American soldier, Ward grew up caught between worlds, never fully accepted by either. Football made him a legend, but couldn’t quiet the questions: Who am I? Where do I belong? Decades later, Ward returns to South Korea with his family to confront the culture he once resented and the sacrifices his mother made. What begins as a personal pilgrimage becomes a reckoning with history and a mission to change the lives of children who now walk the path he once did.
