Beckham

The Rough Cut

Editor - Michael Harte

BECKHAM editor Michael Harte has quickly established himself as an editorial force to be reckoned with in the field of documentary filmmaking. He received ACE Eddie and Emmy-nominations for cutting the astounding, THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS (2018), and then followed that up with another Eddie nomination and an Emmy win for his work on STILL: A MICHAEL J. FOX MOVIE (2023).

Despite the tremendous lore around him as an athlete and pop culture figure, few have gotten the chance to know the man behind the name — until now. BECKHAM, a four-part documentary series, gives fans never-before-seen insights into who Beckham actually is. The result is an unprecedented look at an icon who, despite spending nearly 30 years in the public eye, still has some surprises to share with the world.
