To Kingdom Come documentary allows fans to relive championship

Sydney fans can now relive all the highs and lows of the Kings' NBL22 championship run, as the exciting behind-the-scenes documentary To Kingdom Come will air exclusively on 10 Peach and via streaming on 10 Play.

The 80-minute documentary, created by Sam Tolhurst, will air on Sunday, November 6 from 12.30pm AEDT on 10 Peach - leading into the Kings' round six showdown against New Zealand Breakers.

"I'm extremely proud of how it all came together," said Tolhurst, whose 80-minute piece was premiered at the Kings' NBL23 season launch.

"When we started, we were largely a group of unproven filmmakers out to do something that hadn't been done at this scale in the NBL previously.

"This piece, which obviously benefits from us winning the championship, is different to our seven-part series, as it retrospectively looks at the season after it was completed, which special interviews with Chase [Buford], Luc [Longley], Fleur [McIntyre] and Xave [Cooks].

"Honestly, any fans who loved the other series will enjoy this, as it pulls in moments that not even the NBL documentary was there for, which is a product of us being around the team at every step of the season - allowing us to tell the complete story."

Upon looking back on it, Tolhurst, whose feature piece is a spin-off of the club's seven-part Building The Kingdom series which aired on Kayo Sports during the 2021-22 NBL season, was super appreciative of the opportunity to tell the story of the Kings' journey to NBL title number four.

"The chance to be embedded in a professional sports team like this, with this sort of access, was amazing and should be on every filmmaker's bucket list," he said.

"It was a rare opportunity and investment from everyone at the club, from ownership to Chris Pongrass, Chase Buford and all of the players - one we're all extremely thankful for.

"Their willingness to allow access, mixed in with their level of understanding about what we were trying to achieve, made it very enjoyable."
