NEW YORK, March 26, 2026 // It was announced today that the feature documentary Chasing the Dream will stream globally on Disney+. Marking a significant strategic entry into premium cinema for S4 Capital, the project captures the universal passion of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ utilizing a cinematic scale rarely captured in traditional sports filmmaking.
Chasing the Dream is a celebration of a global passion shared around the world. Moving beyond standard broadcast conventions, the film focuses on “heart-first” storytelling to translate the tournament’s collective emotion into a vivid cinematic language. By prioritizing the human spirit of the game, the production aims to offer global audiences an intimate and unexpected perspective on the world’s greatest sporting event.
The film is produced by Monks Film, the specialized production arm of S4 Capital’s Monks, in a joint venture with New Element Media. The partnership leverages the momentum of New Element Media’s President, Fernando Sulichin, a veteran producer with a proven track record of delivering globally-scaled cultural narratives. The project is being executed with the collaboration and support of FIFA to ensure unprecedented access to the heartbeat of the game.
“Monks Film is a natural evolution of our model to capitalize on the growth of sports franchises and global branding,” said Sir Martin Sorrell, Executive Chairman of S4 Capital. “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 production features a world-class creative team led by New Element Media’s Fernando Sulichin, who brings a signature emotional resonance and narrative depth to the project. Joining the team is renowned producer Pablo E. Bossi—the force behind Muchachos, the most-watched documentary in Argentine history—who provides deep expertise in capturing the unique cultural grit and fervor of global football.
Disney+ will serve as the global streaming home for the film, connecting the documentary with fans across the globe.
To ensure the production captures the most authentic and evolving narratives of the tournament, further details regarding the creative leadership and a roster of high-profile global participants will be revealed as the project progresses toward its debut.
“The FIFA World Cup is that rare moment when the world pauses and beats as one,” said Fernando Sulichin. “In collaboration with FIFA, we are capturing a global cultural moment that will resonate long after the final whistle.”
