Ben passed away while at a “team building” event with his Oakville Rangers Hockey Team in 2019.
They are dissatisfied with the results of the medical study, the police probe, and what they perceive to be the coaches’ lack of accountability. In the more than three years since Ben’s passing, they assert that important evidence may have been lost.
I questioned the Teagues about if they had been to a hockey rink together since Ben passed away as I was thinking through the visual components we would need to tell this story. Not at all. They had incredible bravery in doing it for this narrative.
We chose a site in another city because I thought it would be too upsetting for them to go inside a rink where Ben would have played. We took a step back so they could observe the deserted rink we had rented.
