Prime Video greenlights documentary about Roger Federer

A documentary following the final 12 days of Roger Federer’s tennis career will be released by Prime Video.

Helmed by Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia and co-director Joe Sabia, the documentary is described as an intimate follow-along through the final 12 days of Federer’s illustrious career.

Originally a home video never intended for public viewing, the film captures Federer at his most vulnerable and candid self, as he says goodbye to a game and the fans that shaped his life for the last two decades.

It will feature interviews from the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray,

“Initially, the idea was to capture the final moments of my professional tennis career so that I could have it later on to show my family and friends,” said Federer.

“During my career, I tended to shy away from having cameras around me and my family, especially during important moments. But I didn’t see the harm in shooting this as it was never intended for the public. However, we captured so many powerful moments, and it transformed into a deeply personal journey.”

Release details have yet to be announced.
