Watch now: Jason McAteer - Through the Storm

Former Red McAteer, who hosts the hour-long film, opens up about his own battle with depression; a spiral that gripped him upon retiring from football in 2007.

He also embarks on an emotional journey through the Liverpool FC community, from first-team stars to fans, to examine the effects of mental health problems and what can be done to help.

“It was a tough ask but it was important,” said McAteer. “Sometimes you have to hit people hard, you have to get to the emotional side of people’s feelings to make them watch and realise.”

During the documentary, McAteer visits both Liverpool’s Academy complex and Melwood to interview key staff.
