Joy
2024 · Movie · 113 min. · United Kingdom
The chronicle of a historic milestone: the birth in 1978 of Louise Joy Brown, the world's first 'test-tube baby girl', and the 10 years of arduous efforts that made it possible. The events are narrated from the point of view of Jean Purdy, the young nurse and embryologist who worked with scientist Robert Edwards and surgeon Patrick Steptoe to win the battle against sterility with in vitro fertilization (IVF). This trio of visionary mavericks overcame enormous obstacles to make their dream a reality and give hope to millions of people.
