Players fall. Champions rise.
That’s the tagline for I Am Giant: Victor Cruz, a feature-length film chronicling the New York Giants wide receiver’s rise to football stardom, 2014 knee injury and year-long attempt at a comeback. The film, directed by Gotham Cophra (Kobe Bryant’s Muse), debuts on Friday, Oct. 30th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
“We had a premiere for it a couple days ago and people were crying in the audience,” said Cruz. “It’s amazing and to have your life depicted up until this point in a film is extremely humbling.”
The film begins nine months after Cruz tore the patellar tendon in his right knee last October in Philadelphia.
