Beckham (Season 1)

Beckham (2023) — watch online on iFILM, a four-part Netflix documentary directed by Fisher Stevens.

The series covers the full arc: Manchester United academy, the 1999 Treble, the controversial move to Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and the England captaincy. Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Ronaldo are all on camera and talking plainly. The Ferguson section, covering Beckham's exit from Old Trafford, hits differently depending on which version of that story you followed at the time. Victoria Beckham's interviews are the most candid she has given publicly.

Stevens, known for the climate documentary Before the Flood, had access to personal archives and footage most biographers never see. The film is less interested in the goals than in the machinery: how one footballer became a global brand, and what that cost him personally. Stream Beckham online on iFILM.
