For our football idea, we decided to do a documentary on the only footballer that is openly gay at the moment. She is english and happens to be the captain of the national team as well. Her name is Casey Stoney and is a formal player at Arsenal F.C.
The original plan was to get her to talk about her life and what it has meant for her to "come out of the closet" in such a competitive and judgmental world. Interviews with her friends and family, the coach and people involved in the entire process of seeing how she has evolved as a woman and how she has taken the whole situation.
Helen managed to contact her manager and had a talk so that we could make this happen, but it seems like they would only do it if we pay her, which didn't work for us and made us jump into Danny's idea.
