The film follows the case of Joyce Vincent, a 38-year-old who died in her apartment above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her skeleton was discovered three years later in the apartment, where the TV and heating were still on.
“I knew from the moment I read the anonymous story in the newspaper that I was going to make a film about Joyce Vincent, I could not let her remain forgotten,” Morley said.
“We’re thrilled to be working on this innovative documentary, I hope it finds the same critical response it received in its U.K. opening,” Strand’s Marcus Hu commented.
