Inside the backroom of Cheer360 gym, I am interviewing Katie aka Boss Lady (according to everyone from the gym) about her experience with the lockdown.
When asked why she wants me to create this documentary, Katie's genuine, contemplated respond: "To understand what the kids are going through."
She carefully proceeds, emphasizing her awareness of the lockdown's importance when it comes to everyone's safety. Her warm and empathetic voice begins choking up when she reveals that one of her kids' classmate had committed su***de during quarantine.
"What are we really protecting them from?"
The original version of this documentary is 50 minutes long, filled with 20+ Cheer360 athletes sharing about their experience with lockdown, online school, and how they have been coping through this tough time.
Intended for private use, Katie wanted the project to bring comfort for her athletes, to remind them that they are never alone.
10 months after the project completion, I asked Katie for permission to remake a shorter version for my channel.
"We're All in This Together" captures a landmark moment in history. If such a catastrophic event was to happen again in the future (which I certainly hope not), I hope this video can bring you peace, comfort, and hope like it did for everyone involved in the project.
Lastly, I hope you enjoy watching this documentary as much as I loved every second putting it together.
