Over the last few years at #primevideo we’ve had the honour of working with some legends from the world of sport, to tell their honest, personal stories.

This was it was a privilege to join Ronnie O’Sullivan, Sam Blair, David Beckham and Alistair Campbell at the launch of ‘Ronnie O’Sullivan; The Edge of Everything’. As any fan of snooker knows, Ronnie is not only the once-in-a-lifetime genius of the game, but a genius who’s struggled through a lifetime of challenge. In this film we see an intimate and honest portrayal of Ronnie’s struggle – and how he overcomes his demons, and spectacularly returns to win his 7th World Championship at the Crucible last year. Alastair’s post screening Q&A with Ron, David and Sam was as deftly managed as you would expect from one of our countries most earnest supporters of men’s mental health initiatives.

Huge congratulations to Sam Blair for his masterful direction, and to all at Studio 99 for delivering an incredible film. Huge thanks to the team at #primevideo for their support for this launch, and for the ongoing curation of this incredible catalogue of content.

Out now, this is must watch for any sports fan.

Some broad generalizations, but I love the conclusion. Wish I could do more to help this segment of the population find work.
