A revealing documentary examining the explosive rift inside Britain’s most famous family: The Beckhams. Following a jaw dropping statement from Brooklyn Beckham, the film explores tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham, and his parents David and Victoria, asking how fame, loyalty and public scrutiny have strained a once carefully managed family brand. 

For decades, the Beckhams have sold the world a glossy fairytale: football royalty, fashion empire, perfect children, the ultimate celebrity family unit. Untouchable. Or so it seemed. Because behind the designer smiles and carefully staged family photos, cracks were quietly forming and now they’ve exploded into full view. 

What started as whispers and raised eyebrows has erupted into an all-out family feud, pitting eldest son Brooklyn against his superstar parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Suddenly, one of the most famous families on the planet is being picked apart in real time, their private rows played out on social media and in headlines around the world. 

At the heart of the fallout is Brooklyn’s decision to go public, breaking ranks with his family through a series of loaded social media posts. In them, he appears to accuse his parents of putting the Beckham brand first, ahead of family loyalty and personal happiness. 

This documentary digs into the moments when everything began to unravel: Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz’s multimillion-dollar wedding and the tensions that followed, the awkward silences at family events, and the absences that spoke loudest of all, including Brooklyn missing David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday celebrations. 

With insight from showbiz journalists who have tracked the Beckhams for decades, branding experts who understand how the Beckham machine was built, and psychologists who unpack the emotional toll of growing up famous, we ask what happens when a global brand collides with real human relationships and what the impact will be on Brand Beckham. 

Is this just another celebrity spat, or the unravelling of Britain’s most famous family? And when every move is watched, shared and judged, is there any way back from a very public family breakdown?
