The documentary series Heart of Invictus will tell the story of participants in the Invictus Games, which will take place in The Hague in 2022. The plot focuses on the life of athletes and organisers of the competition during preparation, according to Netflix.
The series is produced by the creative department of Archewell. Director Orlando von Eisindel and producer Joanna Natasegara are working on the project.
“We’re very excited about the opportunity to shine the global spotlight of Netflix on the men and women that we work with, in order to ensure that even more people can be inspired by their determination and fortitude in working towards their recovery. This partnership will also bring in significant funding to the charity. We are extremely grateful to our Founding Patron for his continued efforts to support the military community, and for making this partnership happen,” Dominic Reid, Chief Executive of the Invictus Games Foundation said.
