Motherboard

At the age of 38, Victoria found herself single, pregnant and broke. Unable to combine motherhood with freelance directing, she was forced to abandon her career in TV, instead turning the camera on herself and her son, Jim. Victoria captures a life where breast cancer, absent fathers and depression are part of the package, but where life still wins every time. Shot over two decades, Motherboard is a celebration of messy lives, solo motherhood, and proof that epic journeys can begin and end at home. It is the antidote to the judgmental and unrealistic expectations we have about motherhood, creating an honest, funny and relatable film for any mother who wept tears of both joy and frustration.
