THE HUNTED documents the personal journey of Germany's only Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich. For the first time, he speaks candidly about his greatest triumph, about the doping scandal that ended his career, and about his dark descent into drug abuse.

In “Jan Ullrich – The Hunted” this exceptional athlete speaks for the first time about his own journey. This four-part documentary takes an exclusive and critical look at his career, his successes, and his dizzying fall from grace. In the late 1990s, Ullrich sparked huge enthusiasm for cycling in Germany. Then Germany's only Tour de France winner took a wrong turn: doping, alcohol, and criminal offenses. Together with Jan Ullrich, viewers travel to the most important locations in his life: from his early years to the scene of his great triumph in Paris and then onto the settings for his most difficult personal defeats – with commentary from Ullrich himself, his friends and colleagues, and his family.

The series traces his meteoric rise as a national hero, the pressures of fame that fueled his scandals, and raw reflections on redemption amid personal lows, offering intimate access to the man behind the headlines.
