About Mission to Burnley

Produced by award-winning Ad Hoc Films, makers of the acclaimed 'QPR: The Four-Year Plan' and 'The United Way', this Sky Documentaries series follows Burnley Football Club owners, ALK Partners, as they seek to navigate the snakes-and-ladders world of modern football.

Led by chairman Alan Pace, and inspired by ALK's faith as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, as they swapped Wall Street for Turf Moor, Lancashire with a single vision - to build a global footballing dynasty in Burnley and beyond.

With unprecedented access to the boardroom, dressing-room and inner workings of a football club - audiences will be taken on a compelling fly-on-the-wall journey with this unique band of owners in a one-team working-class town, where football is a religion in itself.

Charting the highs and lows of the tumultuous period that starts with the devastation of final-day relegation from the Premier League, the documentary goes on to examine how the club has evolved under the stewardship of one of football's most exciting young managers, Vincent Kompany.
