Iconic writer Sylvia Plath's semi-autobiographical work "The Bell Jar" shone a light on 1950s gender politics, sexual identity and mental health at a time when women struggled to find a voice. This film has unprecedented access to people who knew Sylvia Plath, many of whom talk publicly for the first time in the film, featuring a rare interview with Plath's daughter, Frieda Hughes.
The conversation resonates more than ever today.
