Synopsis:

The Real Mary Poppins explores the fascinating relationship between author Pamela Travers and her much-loved character, Mary Poppins. The universally adored magical nanny has enthralled three generations of children and parents although very few people know about the Australian creator and her remarkable but troubled life. A story of a complex woman who escaped her upbringing in rural Australia to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, reinventing herself and her past along the way. An intriguing documentary combining interviews and footage interwoven with clips from major motion picture, Saving Mr Banks (starring Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks) plus new interviews with the cast, The Real Mary Poppins finally reveals the enigma that was Pamela Travers and the origin of one of the most popular characters in fiction.

A documentary that explores and traces the parallel lives of Travers and Mary Poppins from their origins through to their transformation from servant to seer. The enigma that was Pamela Travers is finally revealed in this biography of the creator of one of the most popular characters in children's fiction and film.
