Mental Health Awareness: Weight of Gold
The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) and Safe Harbor Coronado will host the first ever public screening of HBO’s Weight of Gold followed by a discussion with the Film Director and guest athletes including Coronado Olympian Jesse Smith. The documentary profiles the struggles of some of the world's strongest and most gifted athletes as they pursue the pinnacle of sports recognition; The Olympic Gold Medal. 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. All proceeds support the non-profit mission of CIFF and Safe Harbor.
