Growing Up With a Family Matriarch

Meet a woman who knows exactly who she is. For her 70th birthday, three daughters and three grandchildren come together to celebrate the formidable, funny and wonderful woman at the centre of their family. There are strong opinions, interrupted birthday messages, arguments over food and plenty of family chaos. But beneath all the teasing is a story about mothers and daughters, grandchildren, marriage, loss, growing older - and the things families don't always manage to say out loud. As she puts it herself: “I am unique. Nobody is similar to me.” Welcome to Relatively Speaking. Relatively Speaking explores the messy and meaningful relationships that make us human. Through original documentaries, we explore the complexity, humour and humanity of real life. We also partner with organisations to tell authentic human stories, and preserve family histories for future generations.
