A Short Documentary Takes a Look Inside the Wilson Football Factory, Where the Official Footballs of the NFL Are Made

Inside a Wilson Football Factory” is a short documentary produced by Vijai Singh and Ashley Maas for The New York Times that takes a look inside the Wilson Football factory, which produces the official football of the NFL. The documentary focuses on Jane Helser, who worked at the factory sewing footballs for nearly 50 years.

While the video focuses on how to properly construct a football, it does not address how to properly inflate one, or how to maintain proper inflation during championship games.
