A Powerful Documentary that profiles the struggles of some of the worldβs strongest and most gifted athletes as they pursue the pinnacle of sports; The Gold Medal. For many dealing with post Olympic depression becomes a harder battle.
The widespread mental health issues among Olympic athletes are examined in this documentary. Directed and executive produced by Brett Rapkin--and narrated by the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps--the film features interviews with top Olympic athletes who open up about the crippling depression rampant among competitors, particularly after the Games are over.
A story that needed to be told, about a subject that the athletes seem not just happy but relieved to be able to share - Wall Street Journal
