Synopsis

When the World Watched: celebrates the 50th anniversary of Brazil's victory at the 1970 FIFA World Cup. The tournament, played in Mexico, was the first ever to be broadcast live in colour to a worldwide audience and this four-part series provides a fresh look at the players' experiences at a pivotal point in their country's history. Using unseen and rare film from the FIFA Films library as well as a wide range of 3rd party archive the series immerses the viewer in the sights and sounds of the technicolor tournament. Interviews with nine of the remaining team members including the legendary Pelé, as well as Brazilian sports journalists drive the narrative and reveal new stories around the team's victory.

Beautifully restored film footage was deliberately placed in a 4:3 frame to evoke the atmosphere of the era. Bespoke graphics, created to match the style of the 70s add to the nostalgic yet modern approach to the story telling.

Synopsis

In the fall of 1997, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls began their quest to win a sixth NBA title in eight years. But despite all Jordan had achieved since his sensational debut 13 years earlier, “The Last Dance,” as coach Phil Jackson called it, would be shadowed by tension with the club’s front office and the overwhelming sense that this was the last time the world would ever see the greatest player of all time, and his extraordinary teammates, in full flight.
