There are many polished documentary series chronicling individual seasons of English football clubs (such as The All or Nothing series on Amazon Prime). Sunderland ’Til I Die, available on Netflix, is spectacularly not that — there is little polished or controlled about this raw and real All Access pass to witness a year in the life of a relegated club in a relegated corner of England. You will be hard pressed to find anything this poignant on a community’s relationship with its team, or anything that so starkly portrays the (unfamiliar to American sports fans) brutality of world football leagues’ Darwinistic system of promotion and relegation.
