The documentary will cover the career of one of the greatest and most controversial professional athletes ever. From his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates to his rise as one of the most-feared hitters to step in the box.
The documentary will also focus on his steroid use, which has kept him out of the Hall of Fame. Bonds' participation in the documentary is still up in the air. Either way, this will be one baseball fans won't want to miss.
"Glad the GOAT is getting one," one fan tweeted.

Should be amazing. Barry Bonds is the best player to their individual sport in professional sports history. Better at Baseball than Jordan or Bron at basketball, Brady at Football twitter.com/awfulannouncin…

The story will be told with old interviews and archival footage of Bonds during his playing days. The documentary is set to be a behind-the-scenes look at Bonds' career, giving fans a better look at his whole story.
Barry Bonds was a lightning rod
No matter how one feels about him, one can't deny the energy surrounding Barry Bonds as he stepped into the batter's box. All attention was on him, much like Aaron Judge last season.
Bonds was a seven-time MVP and 14-time All-Star. His MLB list of awards and accomplishments resembles a shopping list more than anything else.
After his playing days, he tried his hand as a coach. He spent some time with the San Francisco Giants as a roving spring training instructor. The following year, he joined the Miami Marlins as their hitting coach.
He's been relatively quiet since then, so this documentary comes at a perfect time. It will be great for old fans to get a reminder of the player he was and for new fans to understand the enigma he was. No release date has been set for the film, so we will keep our eyes on that.
