Football, Prince William And Our Mental Health

Until recently it would have seemed ridiculous to turn to either the Royal Family or the world of football to deal with mental health issues. But suffering in silence is being consigned to the past, with Prince William (right centre front, between Gareth Southgate and Thierry Henry) campaigning through the nation’s favourite sport to challenge the attitudes that have stopped men from expressing their feelings.

This film is an affecting record of his determined efforts. Among those he meets is Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who admits to his own shortcomings in addressing mental health, while England goalkeeper Joe

Hart confesses to suffering as his form has declined. Most powerful is the team of bereaved fathers whose companionship provides solace in their grief.
