The Creative Minds Behind The Lens
Tasked with bringing this compelling narrative to the screen is Lorton Entertainment, acclaimed for their work on ‘Make Us Dream’, the riveting Steven Gerrard film, and the unforgettable ‘Diego Maradona’ movie. The series aims to dive deep into the heart and soul of Liverpool, exploring the club’s storied past, its deep-rooted connection with fans, and the secrets behind its success both on and off the field. Despite Klopp’s previous stance on the invasiveness of such projects, assurances have been made that filming will respect the boundaries set by the manager and his players, focusing on pre-approved areas and capturing the team in their most candid moments.
Unprecedented Access and Insight
From intimate glimpses of players off the pitch to the electric atmosphere of match days, the documentary promises an all-encompassing look at the club’s quest for glory. Notably, the crew was present for Klopp’s emotional press conference following his departure announcement, a scene that’s sure to be pivotal in the series. Filming kicked off in December, adopting a fresh approach that prioritises the rich culture and ethos of Liverpool Football Club over sensationalism.
