The series Maradona: Sueño Bendito, produced by BTF Media in co-production with Dhana Media and Raze, will follow the success and challenges of the legendary soccer player and will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 200 countries.
“It is amazing to record all the experiences that, until today, continue to enrich the life of Maradona and it is exactly what we want the audience to value. This story is for everybody, not only soccer fans will understand, but also the dedicated mother who gave her life up establishing her son´s dream as her priority, the way Mrs. Tota did with Diego,” commented Mari Urdaneta, SVP and Chief Content Officer at Raze and executive producer of the series together with Francisco Cordero from BTF Media, Liliana Moyano from Dhana Media and Luis Balaguer from Raze.
