What is the Pele documentary?
The Pele documentary, titled 'Pele', is an inside look at the football veteran's immensely successful career, covering the life and times of the only athlete to have lifted three World Cup trophies.
The documentary is directed by David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas, and executive produced by Kevin Macdonald.
Tryhorn and Nicholas both previously worked on 'Crossing The Line', about the US Olympian Danny Harris and his struggles with drug addiction.
'Pele' includes exclusive interviews with the late legend himself, in which he speaks about his glittering career with both Santos and the Brazil national team - as well as discussions involving journalists and figures from the sport industry on Pele's immeasurable influence on the sport.
It also has archived, previously never-before-seen interviews with star former team-mates Mario Zagallo and Jairzinho.
'Pele' charts the ascent of the formidable striker, following his rise to stardom at the 1958 World Cup as a teenager and then ultimately being dubbed the King of Football by the time he lifted his third World Cup title in 1970.
