Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted | BFI Q&A

Jamie Anderson, son of Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, and director Benjamin Field talk about the film they made about Jamie's father's life at the BFI Southbank.

Gerry Anderson and his teams produced a collection of groundbreaking and internationally-loved sci-fi adventure shows and films – including Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet – that continue to enthral successive generations decades after their first transmission.

But what really inspired and drove him to become such a prolific creator? This new documentary uses previously unseen and unheard interviews, combined with cutting-edge technology, to map Gerry Anderson’s previously uncharted journey: from a poverty-stricken childhood, raised by a Jewish father and an anti-Semitic mother, to becoming a puppetry pioneer and legendary producer.
