Plot
At 38, film director Victoria Mapplebeck found herself single, pregnant, and broke. Filmed over 20 years, Victoria explores a life where she and her son Jim, survive two generations of absent fathers, her breast cancer diagnosis and Jim’s rollercoaster teen years. She first began documenting their lives with her old DVCAM before shooting on five generations of smartphones. Victoria recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs- up he gave her during her first scan, to his first day at college. Motherboard documents a lifetime of parenting, capturing the comedy and drama of solo motherhood in all its unfiltered glory
