Magenta TV Debuts Laura Wontorra Documentary Ahead of the 2026 World Cup

The project uses a father–daughter road trip to turn World Cup coverage into a more personal story.

Overview

  • Magenta TV is now streaming a four-part series that was filmed in 15 days and offers rare private footage of the presenter.
  • The episodes follow Laura Wontorra and her father, veteran journalist Jörg Wontorra, through the United States, Mexico and Canada.
  • Along the way, they meet former Germany coach Jürgen Klinsmann and NHL star Leon Draisaitl, and they visit events from a rodeo to NHL and MLS games.
  • The documentary weaves in home videos from Wontorra’s childhood, including playful moments in a family car and in her mother’s oversized heels.
  • The release comes as Wontorra leads World Cup coverage for Magenta Sport and continues high-profile TV work, after a career spanning Sky, Sport1, DAZN and RTL and a 2022 separation from ex-husband Simon Zoller.
