A two-part documentary charting how Wimbledon champion Boris Becker rose to global fame before bankruptcy led to a British prison sentence.

Featuring testimony from friends, former competitors and people close to Becker—including his estranged second wife, Sharlely—the films trace his journey from winning Wimbledon at just 17 to becoming world number one and one of sport’s wealthiest stars, before examining how he lost it all.
