Filmmaker Clay Tweel is set to direct the feature about the Buffalo Bills safety who has secured a spot on the active roster after receiving CPR during a game earlier this year.
Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills defensive player who made national headlines when he suffered cardiac arrest during an NFL game early this year, will be the subject of a documentary film about the 25-year-old athlete’s recovery and advocacy work.
The film, entitled Did We Win — which references a question Hamlin asked from his hospital bed about the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals after he awoke from medically induced sedation — is currently in production. Filmmaker Clay Tweel (Gleason) is directing the project that hails from Skydance Sports and NFL Films.

Executive producers are FlynnPictureCo.’s Scott Sheldon, Asylum Entertainment Group’s Steve Michaels and Jodi Flynn, and Jaster Athletes’ Jordon Rooney
“Damar is a real-life superhero. His impact and recovery in such a short period of time has been extraordinary to witness. I am honored that he and his family have entrusted us,” Beau Flynn said in a statement about his company’s first foray into nonfiction filmmaking. “We knew immediately Damar’s incredible story needed to be shared with audiences and look forward to taking this step into nonfiction with him.”
Tweel added, “I am incredibly grateful to be a part of telling this story alongside Beau. Damar and his family are true examples of strength and perseverance and I can’t wait to share their deeply emotional story with the world.”
Monday Night Football viewers watched Jan. 2 as Hamlin made a tackle and then collapsed on the field as a result of cardiac arrest, leading medical staff to administer CPR and automated external defibrillation (AED) on the field. He was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition and was eventually discharged from a Buffalo facility nine days after the game. (Neither team earned a win, as the game was suspended due to the emergency and did not resume.)
Hamlin’s recovery has continued, and he was officially named a member of the Bills’ 53-man active roster last month. The player, who was listed as a backup safety throughout preseason, will not be active during the team’s season opener Monday night against the New York Jets, according to media reports.
I’m guessing this is a Deep State Cover-up for a clear Vaccine Injury....
so NOW he’s gonna talk about it...
it stinks already
Who cares.....Last summer a pitcher in our senior softball league collapsed on the mound when his heart just stopped. Fortunately several players on the field were retired firemen and they immediately started CPR until the EMS arrived about 15 minutes later. He's back playing with a pace maker.....
This is a joke, right?
Brainwashing documentary.
They know it wasn’t just a heart attack...
A quelle suprise update. Guess who’s inactive. Again...
I’ll just toss this one in, from Buffalo on high school football...
Sounds like tons of fun, don’t it?
Update. Just checked. No word yet on whether Hamlin will be playing today.
