Beckenbauer: The Last Emperor
Last day
This three-part documentary follows the career of a German sporting icon. Franz Beckenbauer, perhaps the greatest footballer who ever lived was, was born in 1945 into the ruins of post-war West Germany. Nicknamed der Kaiser (the emperor), his story mirrors that of his country, as he developed into a star and became an unofficial ambassador for the federal republic.
