Kordell Stewart / Slash & Burn

This short documentary film tells the story of former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart, one of the most electrifying players of the 1990s. Nicknamed "Slash" for his ability to excel at multiple positions, Stewart helped redefine what was possible for an NFL quarterback. But just as he became one of football's biggest stars, a malicious rumor upended his life.
