Amazon is working on a documentary about the German record champions for its Prime Video service.

"This is the first time that Bayern Munich lets cameras in," said Prime Video managing director Christoph Schneider on Tuesday: "We have been shooting for a long time."

The documentary should be broadcast in the fall.

There were similar offers on Prime Video with “Inside Borussia Dortmund” and “Inside SG Flensburg-Handewitt”.

In the Premier League there was already a collaboration with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur for the series “All or Nothing”.

"It's a perfect moment to do this documentary," said Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, referring to the corona pandemic: "We have a great interest in maintaining closeness to our fans." "The documentation guarantees".

There is "also an interest that we present the club as it is".

The documentation should be "as authentic as possible," said Bayern board member Oliver Kahn.

This also means that the camera is there, "even if things are not going so well".
