March 8 @ 7:00 PM
Finding herself single, pregnant, and broke at 38, BAFTA award-winning director Victoria Mapplebeck turned the camera on herself. Recording hundreds of hours of footage through 20 years, she documents her own life and that of her son Jim, from the thumbs-up he gave her during her first scan, to his first day at college. Intimate and engagingly frank, she records moments of sheer joy: holidays, birthdays, Jim’s love of singing and dancing as he grows into an articulate and funny individual. But there’s adversity to navigate too: breast cancer, the pandemic, absent fathers, late teens and the pitfalls they bring. This celebration of messy lives and solo motherhood is proof that epic journeys can begin and end at home.
