The documentary footage was never intended for public viewing, with Federer stating, "I was convinced early on that I should have some footage of the inner circle just for my life, just for the kids [to see] when they grow up, that they remember [...] how it was, especially that very particular moment of my life." However, he later decided to release the film to the public.
Director Joe Sabia had met Roger Federer in 2019 when he directed Federer's "73 Questions" video for Vogue. Three years later, Federer's team approached Sabia to film his retirement announcement, which was released on 15 September 2022. In addition to the retirement announcement, Sabia documented the final 12 days of Federer's career.
The film premiered at the Tribeca Festival and was released on Amazon Prime Video on 20 June 2024.
