The documentary will also include private recordings that the family have agreed to release.
They will also feature in the documentary, which will look back on the icon’s career and provide insight into his accident.
Among those set to appear in Schumacher are his son Mick – who is now also an F1 racer, his wife Corinna, his father Rolf and daughter Gina-Maria.
The project is the brainchild of German filmmakers Michael Wech and Hanns-Bruno Kammertons.
No release date has been given for the documentary yet, as production was impacted and delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
According to PlanetF1, the documentary was slated for a December 2019 release which was then moved to 2020 and subsequently affected by the pandemic.
There is currently no trailer available.
