This feature length documentary, from filmmaker Sam Blair, explores how one of the most revered and accomplished British sporting heroes is able to function at the highest level despite a constant battle with his inner demons. The film focuses on understanding Ronnie’s genius, illuminating his past through never-before-seen archive family footage and charts his rise to fame from his early teens and the mental challenges he has overcome in the pursuit of perfection.
It features intimate and revealing interviews with Ronnie O’Sullivan and some of his closest family, friends and competitors – including Damien Hirst, Ronnie Wood, snooker legends Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry.
The film is directed by Sam Blair (Make Us Dream, Keep Quiet, Maradona ‘86), and edited by Sam Blair and Paul Monaghan.
