- Synopsis:
The definitive feature documentary about Audrey Hepburn: Hollywood star, fashion icon and humanitarian. Audrey Hepburn won her first Academy Award at the age of 24, and went on to become one of the world s greatest cultural icons: a once-in-a-generation beauty, and legendary star of Hollywood's Golden Age, whose style continues to inspire. But who was the real Audrey Hepburn? Malnourished as a child, abandoned by her father, and growing up under Nazi occupation in Holland, Hepburn faced a fife-long battle with the traumas of her past, which thwarted her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, and cast a shadow over her personal life. Yet she found inner peace, using her superstardom for good as a global ambassador for UNICEF, and bringing her life full circle: first a victim of war, then a source of relief to millions. A hybrid of rare archive, cinematic dance sequences, and intimate interviews with those who knew her best, this film brings a truly extraordinary woman to life, who stands as testament to the power of love and forgiveness. - Actors:

Superficial Documentary - Audrey review by GI
A rather disappointing documentary about this iconic actress. It sort of skimps over her impressive film work, missing out completely some of her films and becomes a sort of magazine style work that emphasises her quasi royal type persona. Impressive as Hepburn's Unicef work was it is however the least interesting part of her life and this film doesn't focus enough on her complex background, marriages and relationships. For example it is well documented that Alfred Hitchcock despised her but this is not mentioned at all. There is interest here but it's a superficial telling of Hepburn's life.
