FEDERER: Twelve Final Days
The teaser for FEDERER: Twelve Final Days— a documentary on legendary tennis player Roger Federer has been dropped on Prime Video. The documentary will chronicle his final 12 days in the sport. Prime Video greenlit the project earlier this year.
“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. 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,” Federer said after the announcement of the documentary.
“However, we captured so many powerful moments, and it transformed into a deeply personal journey. I am happy to be partnering with Prime Video because of their vast global reach and significant presence in the film industry. This ensures that the story of my final days in tennis will resonate with both tennis enthusiasts and broader audiences worldwide,” he added.
Helmed by Oscar-winning director Asif Kapadia, the film will also feature interviews with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray.
