Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Joy, its historical drama led by the incredible Thomasin McKenzie. The film is expected to make its debut sometime this year.
“It tells the remarkable true story behind the groundbreaking birth of Louise Joy Brown in 1978, the world’s first ‘test-tube-baby,’ and the tireless 10-year journey to make it possible,” reads the synopsis. “Told 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.”
