The company will launch Good Neighbors, a three-part series on its Prime Video service around the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which begins in November.

The series will look at the political, social, and sporting layers of the rivalry; Mexico has beaten the U.S. 36 times since 1934, when the first game was played, but the U.S. has the edge since 2000 with 17 wins and nine losses.

It will feature interviews with the likes of U.S. star Landon Donovan and Mexico’s Márquez, who became symbols of their country’s cultures during their respective careers.

It will also examine the passionate, international battle for on-field talent and fan support that has made the U.S.-Mexico border one of the most fascinating soccer frontiers in the world, with players—and families—from both countries becoming the focus of recruiting battles between these two deeply interconnected nations.

It’s the latest football doc for Amazon following the likes of All or Nothing and This Is Football
