Athletes share their personal experiences to change conversations around mental health.

Featuring NBA star Justise Winslow, tight end Hayden Hurst, former NHL goalie Clint Malarchuk, and wide receiver Brandon Marshall, this hour-long documentary explores how professional athletes, so often considered the prototype for a certain type of masculinity, silently struggled with their mental health. Even though the four athletes come from wildly different backgrounds, they are all bound by one steadfast desire: to remove the stigma of mental illness.

Four star athletes discuss their personal stories in an effort to remove the stigma of mental illness.
