Netflix Inc began producing the original documentary “Naomi Osaka” in August 2019, which has closely followed Naomi Osaka’s life for about one year.
It announced that it is scheduled to distribute exclusively worldwide in the near future.
Naomi Osaka, a professional tennis player, won the first Grand Slam championship in the United States in 2018, and won the Australian Open in 2019, and gained the world’s first ranking in Asian nations by gender.
The film is said to reflect the history and present life of Naomi, such as the efforts and distress hidden by the glory, the childhood, and personal life, with close contact for about a year.
Naomi Osaka commented, “During this year, which has great significance for ourselves, we were able to talk about our own story through a lot of encounters while working with a team that really understands me, and it became a very meaningful experience. It is very exciting to be able to deliver it to you because it is different from the conventional sports documentary.”
Ms Garrett Bradley, a female director of the film, is a highly acclaimed filmmaker and Academy Award nominee for short film “Alone”.
Produced by Film 45, the documentary was also co-produced with UNINTERRUPTED.
