beat sheet
  • The film is based on the life of Jean Purdy, a British embryologist who worked alongside doctors Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe to develop the first successful IVF treatment in the 1970s.
  • Screenwriter Jack Thorne and director Ben Taylor aim to shine a light on Purdy's crucial, yet often overlooked, contributions to the birth of the first 'test-tube baby', Louise Brown, in 1978.
