The film, directed by German duo Michael Wech
and Hanns-Bruno Kammertoens, was made with the blessing of the
driver's family and will include interviews with them as well as
companions and competitors, the filmmakers said.
Schumacher turned 50 on Jan. 3 but has not been seen in public
since a skiing accident in the French Alps five years ago which
left him with severe head injuries and in a medically-induced
coma.
The film is in post-production, with international rights sales
to be launched at the Marche du Film, a business event held in
parallel to the cinema showcase on the French Riviera that kicks
off on May 14.
Other films set to be introduced to buyers include a documentary
about rock bank Led Zeppelin. As yet untitled, it will feature
band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.
Schumacher remains motor racing's most successful driver, with a
record 91 grand prix wins. He won his first two titles with
Benetton in 1994 and 1995 before five in a row with Ferrari
between 2000-2004.
In January his family released a statement saying he was in the
"the very best of hands".
