The pandemic in 2020 took the world by storm and, even when I write this review, in 2022, we're still upside down, but slowly recovering and getting up.

Sports worldwide made no difference.

This documentary focuses more on the USA major sport leagues, with a special note on NBA and also the BLM movement.

Athletes are today's gladiators and, as many fans have made even idols out of some of their favorite superstars, sport's voice can be heard louder and its message delivered more successfully.

But aside from covid and social equality, sportspeople are people just like us, with families, goals and fears, and their life trembled too as 2020 unfolded.
