Dora Gordine (1895-1991) was an elusive, yet crucial figure in the history of sculpture. Lauded by the critics as the world's most talented female sculptor in the mid-1920s, Gordine continued her steady rise well beyond her contemporaries, having one of her statues unveiled in 1963 by Queen Elizabeth II herself. Until recently, little has been known about the origins of this incredible woman, owing much to her constant efforts to hide, alter and even blatantly lie about her past. The documentary explores the key chapters of Gordine's life and attempts to unveil the truth about her formative years.
