Carter made the announcement via his Facebook page.

"Excited to share with you guys about a project I've been working on over the past 12 months. A film will be coming out which gives a deep insight into my personal life, my career and particularly my challenging road to the 2015 Rugby World Cup," his post said.

“It’s definitely more of myself than I’ve been comfortable giving in the past. I’ve been incredibly lucky in my life with the opportunities I’ve been given, but I’ve also had some dark times along the way,” commented Dan Carter. “I hope audiences take away from the film that you can reach your goals no matter where you come from and what you come up against.”

The film also exposes the physical and mental torment of Rugby World Cup tournaments as Carter prepares for his final quest in the iconic black jersey.

Carter said the "intimate" film, which was produced by Pitch Productions, would also expose the physical and mental torment he endured to be ready for his final outing for the All Blacks, the 2015 World Cup in the UK.

"It's definitely more of myself than I've been comfortable giving in the past," Carter said in a statement.
