Short description
A young nurse, a visionary scientist and an innovative surgeon face opposition from the church, state, media and medical establishment, in their pursuit of the world’s first ‘test tube baby’, Louise Joy Brown.
What's left behind the scenes
- Louise Brown, the first baby born through IVF (in vitro fertilization), fully supported the project and even visited the set to chat with the screenwriter and director.
- A memorial plaque in honor of Jean Purdy, Patrick Steptoe, and Robert Edwards for their contribution to the development of IVF was unveiled by Andrew Steptoe (son of Patrick Steptoe) from the Royal Society of Biology.
