Along with interviews with teammates from both the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, the film features Reggie&#8217;s son Jeremy who embarks on a journey to understand his father&#8217;s life, which ended tragically short at the age of 43. <em>The Minister of Defense<\/em> is a portrait of a man who constantly strived to &#8220;do right&#8221; but found that sometimes there is no easy answer as to what &#8220;right&#8221; means.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1175158583\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re grateful to ESPN for supporting the story of Hall of Fame player who underwent a radical reexamination of his faith in the final years of his life,&#8221; said Courtland Bragg and Ken Rodgers, Directors of The Minister of Defense. &#8220;Although he&#8217;s been gone for two decades, Reggie White&#8217;s life is a parable for 2023 America, exploring how our strongly held beliefs must be continually challenged in order to grow. This is a side of Reggie very few people got to see, until now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a rich, multilayered film about one of the greatest defensive players in the history of football. From his dominance on the field, to his family life and complicated personal journey, the film shows a different side of Reggie than we&#8217;ve ever seen. He was a preacher, a husband, a father, and a complex human being, and capturing all these elements is what makes our film special. We can all relate to the search for deeper meaning in our lives, and it&#8217;s important that we tell stories like these that transcend the game itself,&#8221; said Marsha Cooke, Vice President &amp; Executive Producer for ESPN Films and 30 for 30.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary will be made available on ESPN+ immediately after its premiere, along with the rest of the 30 for 30 library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESPN will debut the next installment in the Peabody and Emmy\u00ae award-winning 30 for 30 series, The Minister of Defense on Wednesday, December 13, @ 9PM ET.
