Synopsis
Sunderland 'Til I Die (2018) is the Netflix documentary series you can watch online on iFILM, and you don't need to follow football to be hooked. Cameras embed inside English club Sunderland through the 2017-18 campaign, just after relegation from the Premier League, as everyone scrambles to climb back up.
The real subject isn't the scoreline — it's the people. Supporters for whom the club is half their identity. Players booed by their own fans. Chief executive Martin Bain counting the money, managers hired and fired in a blur. A season meant as a quick bounce-back curdles into a slow slide the wrong way, and the show films every crack: in the dressing room, in the boardroom, in the streets of a working-class town in north-east England.
There's no scripted comeback here, just an unusually raw look at loyalty and heartbreak. It's a treat for anyone who loves behind-the-scenes docs or knows what it means to back a losing cause. Stream Sunderland 'Til I Die online on iFILM.
