Charting the story of Formula One's most celebrated family, Williams is a thrilling account of how one man built a racing empire and a vivid, heart-rending portrait of the aftermath of a tragedy. Starting life with nothing other than a single-minded obsession for speed, Sir Frank Williams created one of the world's most enduring Formula One racing teams, winning nine Constructors' Championships over the last 40 years. But in 1986 at the height of this success, a near fatal car accident left Frank fighting to survive and the team's future hanging in the balance. Williams, a brand-new documentary from BAFTA-wining director Morgan Matthews, tells the story of Frank's rise to fame and how his family battled to keep him alive and the team afloat after the crash that left Frank wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. Featuring heart-pounding racing footage, interviews with much-loved Formula One stars (including Sir Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell, Alan Jones and Sir Patrick Head) and candid never-before-seen accounts of what really went on behind closed doors, it is an honest, authentic and incredibly revealing portrait of one of the most extraordinary families in motor sport.

Movie Reviews

The Arts Desk - 10/10 by Adam SweetingThis is a valuable addition to this year's 40th anniversary celebrations of Williams Grand Prix.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Ed PottonThe title of Morgan Matthews's insightful film doesn't just refer to Frank Williams, the boss of the Williams Formula One team. This film transcends the remit of the sports documentary by also focusing on his late wife Virginia.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabSports documentaries tend to be very predictable. Williams surprises us by coming at its subject matter from an unlikely perspective.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Tim RobeyIt doesn't need to zoom around the tracks at 230mph - it patiently leafs back though a family photo album, rightly trusting in the human contours of the story more than the aerodynamics.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Tara BradyRacing fans are sure to enjoy a history that takes in Patrick Head's innovative car designs in the late 1970s and the 1986 rivalry between Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet.
Daily Mail (UK) - 8/10 by Brian VinerWilliams ... is charismatic and charming. Morgan Matthews's absorbing and moving documentary also reveals him as maddeningly self-centred, obsessed with motor-racing to the exclusion of all else - but brilliant nonetheless.
The List - 8/10 by Eddie HarrisonMotor-racing may still be a man's world, but this account of a strong woman's triumph reveals a very personal and affecting hidden story.
Screen International - 6/10 by Fionnuala HalliganStories of obsession play well on the big screen, whether drama or documentary. And Sir Frank Williams' passion for going fast is particularly intense.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by Dan JolinAn affectionate but unflinching portrait of a family consumed by its dedication to Formula 1, thanks in main to its seemingly unstoppable patriarch, Sir Frank Williams.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by David JenkinsFrank Williams has his legacy well and truly besmirched in this highly unflattering and very juicy portrait.
