“We believe football is just a pure part of the culture of Western Pennsylvania. We’re excited to use the NFL Draft to showcase that importance, as well as our culture, and we’re excited for this to be the first true get-out-there moment of the NFL Draft,” said writer Jim Britt.
Narrated by Pittsburgh native Pat McAfee, the documentary stars Steelers legends such as Bill Cowher, Jerome Bettis, Joey Porter Sr. and James Harrison.
It also covers the high school football scene, exploring team cultures at schools such as Aliquippa, Homewood, Peters Township and Steel Valley.
The documentary will premiere Saturday at the Cumming Science Center and will continue to air there during the NFL Draft.
