Motherboard is a smartphone feature exploring motherhood, filmed over 20 years by BAFTA award-winning director Victoria Mapplebeck. At the age of 38, Victoria found herself single, pregnant and broke. Motherboard charts the joy, pain and comedy of raising her son Jim alone. Victoria recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs-up he gave during her first scan, to his first day at college. Over two decades, Victoria captures a life where breast cancer, absent fathers and depression are part of the package, but where life still wins every time.

WADW Presents is a series of documentary screenings featuring Q&As with the women creatives behind the camera. It comes from the team behind We Are Doc Women, a group that was founded in 2017 to provide peer support for women directors working in factual television in the UK. They have grown to become a collective of directors, producers, assistant producers and executive producers advocating for equal opportunities, greater support and fair recognition within the industry.
