What is the Naomi Osaka documentary about?

The documentary series follows Naomi over the course of two years, and the filmmakers were given unprecedented access to her life on and off the court. The cameras follow her as she defends her titles, finds her voice as she supports the causes that mean most to her, and also shows her in sadder moments as she mourns the loss of her mentor, Kobe Bryant, who died in a plane crash in January 2020.

The series, which includes interviews with Naomi and her friends and family, also details Naomi’s hectic training schedule, the strains she is under as a top tennis player, and the pressures that led to her quitting the French Open in May this year.
