Created by The Hive for the Canadian Olympic Committee and CBC/Radio-Canada, this rousing film voiced by Michael J. Fox showcases the inspiring journeys of Olympic stars.
Titled What We Don’t See, it's the hero film of the 'Brave is Unbeatable' campaign and was directed by Academy Award-nominee Hubert Davis, through Untitled Films, using a blend of archival footage from previous contests, along with new footage of Team Canada sports people in action.
It depicts the incredible journeys these athletes have taken to reach Olympic levels, from basketball player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being dropped by his high school team, to swimmer Maggie MacNeil’s struggles with anxiety, to gymnast Ellie Black fighting back after being told she was too old to compete.
“The use of archival footage was a core conceptual element of these films,” said Ryan Speziale, Creative Director at The Hive. “We wanted to really contrast the way we typically see these athletes by using existing broadcast footage, then mixing those shots with more emotive and introspective moments that peek behind the scenes.”
