LS Lowry: The Unheard Tapes

This documentary explores the life of L.S. Lowry, one of Britain's most beloved artists, through intimate hidden recordings made by a young fan, Angela Barratt, in 1972. The tapes offer new insight into Lowry's personal story and the transforming northern England that inspired his iconic matchstick men paintings. The voices heard are authentic, lip-synced by actors Ian McKellen and Annabel Smith.
