Netflix has released a teaser trailer for Joy, the upcoming drama from director Ben Taylor which tells the remarkable true story of the birth of IVF and the three British pioneers who made it possible, played by James Norton, Bill Nighy, and Thomasin McKenzie.
Joy tells the remarkable true story behind the ground-breaking birth of Louise Joy Brown in 1978, the world’s first ‘test-tube- baby’, and the tireless 10-year journey to make it possible. Told through the perspective of Jean Purdy, a young nurse and embryologist, who joined forces with scientist Robert Edwards and surgeon Patrick Steptoe to unlock the puzzle of infertility by pioneering in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The film celebrates the power of perseverance and the wonders of science as it follows this maverick trio of visionaries who overcame tremendous odds and opposition to realise their dream, and in doing so allowed millions of people to dream with them.
Joy is coming soon to Netflix.
