Short explanation of the story and how it developed: When Jennifer Crawford chose to tackle issues of addiction and mental health head-on six years ago, they began a journey to sobriety with many twists and turns: returning to their home province of Nova Scotia, to chasing a childhood dream of becoming a pro-wrestler. And when Crawford donned the wild colours of their wrestling persona Moon Miss, they seemed unstoppable in the rookie wrestling season in Halifax, N.S. Then came a huge setback (which just so happened to occur on the second day of gathering audio.) Luckily, Crawford is no stranger to setbacks. 'To The Moon' is a comeback story, featuring a one of a kind wrestler. |
