I Am<\/a> series, I Am Ruth, explores the strained relationship between Kate Winslet\u2019s Ruth and her daughter Freya, played by Winslet\u2019s real-life daughter Mia Threapleton.<\/p>\nAn exclusive first look at the season unveils the fractured bond between the pair, while hinting at Freya\u2019s struggle with mental health and Ruth\u2019s attempts at helping her through it.<\/p>\n
Created by BAFTA winner Dominic Savage, the drama is also co-authored by Winslet, following in the footsteps of the series\u2019s predecessors which also saw their lead actors contribute ideas. Winslet\u2019s episode, however, marks the first feature-length entry to the series.<\/p>\n
Channel 4 said Savage and Winslet have devised a story \u201cfor our times about the endemic mental health crisis affecting young people,\u201d calling it an \u201chonest and authentic portrayal of a mother and daughter\u2019s increasingly strained relationship\u201d.<\/p>\n
We can get glimpses of this in the trailer, including how Freya\u2019s relationship with social media affects her mental health and Ruth\u2019s attempts to help her navigate it.<\/p>\n
