What is Prince William, Football and Our Mental Health about?
The film follows The Duke of Cambridge as he meets football players and fans from grassroots to professionals and openly discusses their mental health challenges.
William has spent the past year campaigning to change attitudes to mental health in Britain.
The film synopsis reads: "Spurred on by the fact that suicide is the biggest killer of young men in this country, he wants to use football as a way to get men talking and to break the taboo that surrounds mental health.
"As a real fan of the sport, William has seen the way men express their feelings at football games. Now he wants to help men show the same passion and openness away from the game."
Filmed over the course of a year, viewers will see William talking about his personal struggles as well as talking to other men about their issues, discussing mental health and suicide.
In a preview clip William shares: "As far as grief goes, and I’ve heard this from sadly too many families who’ve been bereaved by suicide, it is one of the rawest forms of grief because you’re left with so many unanswered questions: Could I have done more? Should I have done more? Why did they do it?"
