 BRAND NEW DOCUMENTARY

HILL

Wednesday 2nd July at 9pm on Sky Documentaries


One name. Two world champions. In 1996, Damon Hill claimed the Formula 1 World Championship and cemented his place in motorsport history, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Graham Hill. And now he's the subject of a new documentary for Sky, HILL.


The unique family story, set against the backdrop of the fastest sport in the world, follows 1996 Formula 1 World Champion Damon Hill as he defies the odds and overcomes tragedy to step out of his father’s shadow and become a racing legend in his own right. More than a sporting biography, HILL is a story about identity, resilience, and devotion.


Described as an emotive portrait of man who defied the odds to reach the top while carrying the weight of a famous name, it charts his remarkable journey from racing motorbikes to carving out his own legacy in the fiercely competitive world of F1, racing alongside racing legends including Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.
