Demand for football-related factual content is high in Latin America and Europe, where the sport has enjoyed an enthusiastic following for years. Additionally, GRB Entertainment’s Melanie Torres, director of international sales, notes that documentary content about soccer such as All Eyes on Brazil also does well in territories like Africa. “There are always buyers looking for sports programming, especially surrounding big events like the World Cup in Russia,” and All Eyes on Brazil is unique in that it takes a look not only at a country that loves football but also at the economic impact on the community when the World Cup came to Brazil in 2014.
