My Father and Me
Directed by Nick Broomfield
 

AFTER making films about a serial killer, a Hollywood madam, rappers and troubled rock stars, Nick Broomfield turns his focus on his father, Britain’s most pre-eminent industrial photographer Maurice Broomfield, in this complex and fascinating love letter.

In his most intimate and personal film to date, he explores their complicated and troubled relationship — emanating from stark differences in their approach to work, their outlook on life and their class backgrounds — while celebrating his father’s extraordinary photographs, which captured the beauty and might of British industry after the second world war.
