About the filmmaker

RYAN SMITH, DIRECTOR & PRODUCER

This film marks a continuation of Ryan's previous acclaimed work, including the Emmy Award-winning "NFL 360: Who If Not Us." This prior documentary followed a group of football players in Ukraine who, confronted with the turmoil of the Russian invasion, ensured their families' safety, and selflessly volunteered to join the military in defense of their country. This poignant storytelling captured the spirit of sacrifice and determination amidst adversity, a theme resonating throughout Ryan's filmmaking journey.
