Apple TV has released a clip from the upcoming documentary, shot by Alex Gibney and producer John Buttsek, known for Oscar-winning documentaries like Looking for Sugar Man.

The two-part documentary chronicles Becker's life over three years through a series of interviews. In it, he recounts the emotional turmoil he experienced before being sentenced for bankruptcy-related offenses.

Ahead of sentencing, Becker said he had hit "bottom" while awaiting the court's ruling. In the video, he says "I've reached my [stone] bottom. I don't know what to do." “I will face [my verdict] and not hide or run. [I will] accept any sentence that comes to me.
