THE MELBOURNE Football Club has announced that it will release a five-part pre-season documentary series, titled To Hell and Back.

With unprecedented access into the club’s football program, Melbourne Media have captured an action-packed pre-season documentary series, launching on Sunday 9 February.

CEO Gary Pert said the documentary was created so that all Dees fans have the opportunity to witness the intense effort that goes into preparing for a new season.

“It’s important for members and supporters to understand that the term ‘To Hell and Back’ is about our journey. A journey out of, one of the most difficult periods in our club’s history back to re-establishing itself as a consistently successful, strong and significant AFL club,” Pert told Melbourne Media.

“We’ve sent in the cameras to capture a candid pre-season documentary, To Hell and Back, showing the physical efforts and personal stories behind our 2020 pre-season.

“Led by Simon Goodwin and his team, the intimate access granted has allowed us to capture fascinating insights that are usually only shared with those present. With the To Hell and Back documentary, those moments will now belong to all of our members and supporters."

From off-site training sessions to honest conversations, Melbourne Media’s cameras were tasked with taking Demons fans behind-the-scenes like never before, as the club works to regain the faith of the Melbourne members and supporters.

The first episode of the documentary will be released on Sunday 9 February, with four episodes to follow in weekly increments.
