By Netflix has released the teaser trailer for its historical drama “Joy” which deals with the pioneers of IVF treatment.
The film follows the remarkable true story behind the groundbreaking birth of Louise Joy Brown in 1978, the world’s first ‘test-tube-baby,’ and the decade-long journey to make it possible.
The story unfolds from 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 fertilization (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 realize their dream and, in doing so, allowed millions of people to dream with them.
The film stars Thomasin McKenzie as Jean Purdy, Bill Nighy as Patrick Steptoe, and James Norton as Robert Edwards.
The project is directed by Ben Taylor from screenplay written by Jack Thorne, based on a story by Rachel Mason. Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey produce.
“Joy” is set to debut sometime later this year.
