Amy and I financially supported The Weight of Gold, a film about mental health, depression, and suicide. Jeremy Bloom (Olympic skier, pro-football player, CEO of Integrate) introduced me to the creator Brett Rapkin.
While the focus is Olympic athletes, it highlights a challenge that one in five Americans struggles with. The goal of supporting films like this is to help eliminate the stigma around mental health and depression. Narrated and executive produced by Michael Phelps, with interviews from Shaun White, Apolo Ohno, Katie Uhlaender, Steve Holcomb, Lolo Jones, Bode Miller, Gracie Gold, Jonathan Cheever, Sasha Cohen, David Boudia, Jeret Peterson, and Jeremy Bloom.
