First Trailer For Netflix IVF Drama Joy Starring Thomasin McKenzie
Netflix have released the first Trailer for their upcoming IVF drama Joy.
The film is based on the remarkable true story of the world’s first “test-tube baby” Louise Joy Brown. Three British pioneers, one vision, played by Thomasin McKenzie, James Norton and Bill Nighy.
I may not be an expert on fertility, the scientists behind this remarkable story are angels to couples worldwide. They have given hope to those couples struggling to conceive and a chance to become parents. McKenzie as Jean Purdy, Nighy as Patrick Steptoe and Norton Robert Edwards.
When we reflect on the technology scientists have nowadays, the three visionaries in this film didn’t have that luxury. The odds where against them, people didn’t have faith and perseverance won now people are becoming parents.
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.
