AFL 'Drive to Survive' style documentary series under production

The production company behind landmark documentary Drive to Survive has started work on an AFL series.

London-based media company Box to Box Films is currently in Australia and already working with five AFL clubs for a show to be aired on Amazon.

It’s understood Fremantle, GWS, Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast and Brisbane Lions are in the process of allowing cameras into their inner sanctums as they push for finals.

Sources said the concept revolved more around the star players in each side - such as Marcus Bontempelli and Toby Greene – and their journey, rather than the broader club.

The final product will focus on the last six weeks of the season and then the finals series. Box to Box Films took the sports world by storm with the release of Formula 1 series Drive to Survive in 2019.

The Emmy award-winning company has since gone on to produce shows like Full Swing, Sprint and Tour de France: Unchained and remains the benchmark for sports documentary series.
