What is the Diana documentary about?
Directed by Tell Me Who I Am’s Ed Perkins, the documentary delves into the life of Princess Diana and her eventual role in the royal family, while also exploring the media and public’s obsession with the monarchy.
“Though we are telling a story which has been told and re-told many times, my aim is to reframe it for a modern audience and make it feel as fresh and relevant as it ever has,” Perkins said. “The idea of taking an archive-only approach will allow us to immerse audiences in the narrative as if it were being told in the present.
“I want to bring this account of her life to audiences in a more emotional and unmediated way than has been done before and, rather than re-analysing it or offering another retrospective commentary, I want to invite audiences to bring their own memories and reflections and allow them to see and experience it afresh.”
