The Diego Maradona trailer has dropped!

If you’ve seen the documentaries Senna and Amy, you’ll be excited by the news that the team behind those films have got a new docco coming out. If you’re a fan of football, you’ll be excited by the news that there is a new Diego Maradona documentary coming out. If you’ve seen the documentaries Senna and Amy AND you’re a fan of football then hold on to your hat because, wow, have we got news for you?

Yup, the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning team behind Senna and Amy and producer, Paul Martin, have constructed a new documentary from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from football legend Diego Maradona’s personal archive with the full support of the man himself. It’ll hit cinemas in July.

On the pitch, Diego Maradona was a genius. One of the greatest players of all time. If not the greatest. Off the pitch, he was treated like a God. The charismatic Argentine loved a fight against the odds and led Napoli to their first-ever title. It was the stuff of dreams. But there was a price… Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch but, as time passed, darker days closed in.

Diego Maradona is directed by the incredible Asif Kapadia and releases in Australian cinemas on July 25, 2019
