Singapore – S4 Capital’s Monks Film and New Element Media will stream ‘Chasing the Dream,’ a documentary on FIFA World Cup 2026™ on Disney+, offering unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to players, fans, and stadiums.
The move comes as sports entertainment continues its digital-first pivot, with filmmakers aiming to capture the global tournament beyond conventional broadcast formats.
By focusing on “heart-first” storytelling, the documentary translates the collective passion of fans and players into cinematic language, highlighting the human spirit behind the game.
The project combines Monks Film’s digital, data-driven production model with the creative expertise of New Element Media’s Fernando Sulichin, a veteran of globally scaled cultural narratives.
Renowned Argentine producer Pablo E. Bossi, known for the country’s most-watched documentary Muchachos, adds experience in capturing cultural grit and football fervor.
“Monks Film is a natural evolution of our model to capitalize on the growth of sports franchises and global branding,” said Sir Martin Sorrell, S4 Capital founder and executive chairman.
He added, “By joining forces with the industry’s leading documentary producers, we are creating a new blueprint for high-impact storytelling on a global stage.”
The collaboration is backed by FIFA, granting the production unprecedented access to players, venues, and the backstage heartbeat of the tournament.
Disney+ will serve as the global streaming home, connecting the documentary to fans across continents.
“The FIFA World Cup is that rare moment when the world pauses and beats as one,” said film and documentary maker Fernando Sulichin. “In collaboration with FIFA, we are capturing a global cultural moment that will resonate long after the final whistle.”
Beyond the tournament, the documentary represents S4 Capital’s strategic expansion into premium cinema.
Monks Film, the production arm of the group’s Monks brand, has been building a digital-first, data-led approach to global storytelling, leveraging AI ecosystems and marketing orchestration tools to bridge creativity, culture, and technology.
Chasing the Dream is scheduled to release in the lead-up to FIFA 2026, with further announcements expected regarding its creative team and featured participants.
