This autumn, Prime Video and independent distributor Altitude will release Kenny Dalglish, a cinematic portrait of one of Celtic's, Liverpool's, and Scotland's greatest ever football players.
The intimate documentary is narrated by Kenny Dalglish himself and will see him joined by his wife Marina and footballing friends Graeme Souness and Alan Hansen.
Drawing from hundreds of hours of archival footage, including never-before-seen personal clips from his playing career and home life, the film reveals the remarkable story of a great player and a humble hero of Liverpool and Glasgow.
Thanks to his skill, strength, flair, and sharp humour, the Scotsman is one of Europe’s greatest players and considered an icon for what he did off the pitch as much as on it.
Kenny Dalglish is directed by Asif Kapadia, the Oscar and Bafta-winning director of Senna, Amy, and Diego Maradona.
“Kenny Dalglish was my hero as a kid and I had his picture on my wall in North London where I grew up,” said Kapadia. “I wanted to make this film for people like me who remember Kenny as a player, the Celtic, Liverpool, and Scottish fans, but also for my kids’ generation who only know Kenny from playing FIFA.
“They know the name but they have never seen how good he was as a player or, more importantly, what he did off the pitch for the people of Liverpool. Kenny was the leader who always stepped up and led us when we needed him."
‘Kenny Dalglish’ release date
Kenny Dalglish will play in cinemas across the UK and Ireland for one night only on 29 October with exclusive additional content. The documentary will then launch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland on 4 November.
