The trailer has been released for Netflix doc, Con Mum, produced by Jez Lee and Mobeen Azhar’s indie Forest (The Battle for Britney / The Trouble with Kanye).

Con Mum is Forest’s first Netflix Feature Documentary.

Commissioned by Netflix’s Kate Townsend and Zainab Ali Khan, the film is directed by multi award winning filmmaker Nick Green and Produced by Harry Harris and breaks the story of how a British chef’s life is upended when a jet setting, champagne sipping, hotel hopping woman claims to be his mother.

Forest Co-Founder and Executive Producer Jez Lee says: “Con Mum is an unbelievable, never told before tale of love and loss. The formidable original journalism will have viewers on the very edge of their seat.”

In July 2020, TV pastry chef and co-founder of Longboys Doughnuts, Graham Hornigold, received a message that he had been waiting for all his life. The email was from a woman called Dionne who said that she was searching for her son who had been taken away from her aged two. Less than a week later Graham is sitting in the penthouse of a Liverpool hotel drinking champagne and building a relationship with the mum he thought he’d never get to meet. A successful business woman, Dionne introduces Graham to an opulent lifestyle but after a whirlwind few months, Graham begins to wonder if all that glitters isn’t gold – and whether Dionne is truly his long lost mum.

The Editor is Wesley Thomas and Executive Producers are Nick Holt & Jez Lee.

The film launches on March 25th.
