Premiering at Sundance, Ed Perkins' documentary retells the story of Princess Diana exclusively through contemporaneous archive, news footage, and other public records, creating a bold and immersive narrative of her life and death.

Perkins opts not to present a dramatised portrait of the people's princess, littered with long-view commentary and investigative journalism, but instead documents the story as it happened publicly. Perkins' takes us through the new media's version of the events of Diana's life - revealing how the story skews in various different ways. THE PRINCESS illuminates the public's attitude to the monarchy, then and now, and is a devastating reminder of the remafications of rabid obsession.
