John McKenna: the story of V11 and the making of great sports docs

Noah Media Group co-founder and CEO talks through the company’s approach to crafting its celebrated sports documentaries – including the headline-making Football’s Financial Shame: The Story of the V11. 

He details the production of the film – which was aired on the BBC in September and follows a group of former Premier League stars allegedly brought to ruin by their own advisers – and how the Noah team handled its complexity and sensitivity.

And he also teases the upcoming I’m Carl Lewis and shares his thoughts on the state of the sports documentary space in 2025.

Outlines is a 26 Forty original and is presented, produced and edited by Eoin Connolly.
