The documentary will give an insight into Lewis‘s personal and professional life and will be made up of various guest interviews. The documentary set to air on Apple TV+ will be directed by Matt Kay. Additionally, it is produced by Hamilton, Penni Thow, Box to Box Films, and One Community.

Apple TV+ recently made a statement that said, “Hamilton has blazed an uncharted trail professionally, socially and culturally, and transformed the sport on a global scale.”

“Coming from a working-class family, Lewis succeeded in a sport where the odds were stacked against him. But where his talent shone through, allowing him to dominate the sport for over a decade.”

“Hamilton is currently the only Black driver to race in the Formula 1 series. He embraced what made him different and his rise to the top of his career has made him fiercely committed to using his platform to influence positive change for future generations.”

Hamilton is also a part of an acting project alongside Brad Pitt. We also expect this movie to feature on Apple TV+ with the documentary. Joseph Kosinski will reportedly take the helms of the film alongside producer Jerry Bruckheimer and screenwriter Ehren Kruger. On Apple’s list of recently announced unscripted movies, They Call Me Magic–the life story of NBA star Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson was also present.

The Mercedes star has some previous experience with acting too. He has starred in the Cars franchise and had a cameo in Zoolander 2. This documentary will inspire so many people who dare to dream and is a treat to Hamilton fans. This will also be an inspiring story to follow for people from various marginalized communities.
