The story of the unprecedented sports shutdown in March of 2020 and the remarkable turn of events that followed. This sports documentary is a chronicle of the abrupt stoppage, athletes’ prominent role in the cultural reckoning on racial injustices that escalated during the pandemic, and the complex return to competition in the summer and fall.
""Not only sports stopped with the coronavirus pandemic, but this is the focus of HBO's documentary. 'The Day Sports Stood Still' talks about the sports competitions that had to stop in March 2020 and those that returned - such as the NBA and NFL. The production shows the side of the athletes and also of the directors of major events. It is interesting to look at the global crisis due to covid-19 and the power that sports have to entertain those who are at home, which is closer to a normal life.""
