Julia tells the story of the legendary cookbook author and television superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even about women. Using
never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child’s surprising path,
from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961) which has sold more than 2.5 million copies to date, to her empowering
story of a woman who found fame in her 50s, and her calling as an unlikely television sensation.
