This 2016 documentary takes a thoughtful dive into Antonia Bird's career, mapping her journey from the Royal Court Theatre, where she was a voice of provocation, to her impactful work on shows like EastEnders and Casualty. It features a mix of interviews, archival footage, and behind-the-scenes glimpses that give you a real sense of her distinct style. The pacing feels reflective rather than rushed, allowing you to soak in her contributions and the social context of her work. There’s something refreshing about how it captures the rawness of her storytelling and the strong characters she brought to life. A real tribute to a director whose voice was often ahead of her time.
