The portrait of a myth, the story of a suspended life. Schumacher. On Netflix, from September 15th in a worldwide exclusive. A unique, precious, definitive documentary on the seven-time Formula 1 world champion. For those who love the vertigo of speed, for those who know how to find a little life in every fragment of sport. And for those who can recognize, in every champion, the spark of a single man who takes care of the dreams of many.
Michael Schumacher – we know – from 29 December 2013 – since he had a dramatic accident on the ski slopes of Meribel, France, falling and hitting his head against a stone – he consumes his life in a bubble.
Privacy is highly protected, it’s up to his wife Corinna o to his friend Jean Todt, former Ferrari manager, to let a few words of hope filter through each time for a man who for seven and a half years has been fighting his daily and harrowing battle, clinging to life. At the moment the sample is being followed – at his home on Lake Geneva – by a team of doctors and nurses.
«Michael Schumacher», said his longtime spokesperson Sabine Kehm, «has redefined the professional image of a driver and set new standards. In his pursuit of perfection, he spared neither himself nor the team, leading them to the greatest successes. This is why he is admired all over the world, for his qualities as a leader ». It’s around the idea of a man chasing the perfection that rotates the Netflix docufilm, making use of unpublished archive images and exclusive interviews with the many who accompanied him on his professional and human path, from his family, his wife Corinna and their children Gina and Mick, who embarked on their father’s career, to friends like Jean Todt, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo and Piero Ferrari, up to the many who challenged him on the track, champions of yesterday and today, such as Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen and Sebastian Vettel, the latter – like so many of his generation – grew up in the myth of Schumi.
From the Kerpen gravel pit, where he was born, to the roof of the world, where he arrived. In between, a lifetime. And therefore: the private sphere, the public image. The champion-sphinx who runs on the track like a robot and the loving husband-father, who plays with his children and has fun when he kicks a ball: in “Schumacher” there is all this, the profile of a complex man with many shades that has marked the history of F1 and he managed – by winning, winning and still winning, 91 GPs won by the German – to carve out a place of honor in the world where you go fast, to the finish line and even beyond, you always run, to finish first and to feel alive.
