Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda is many things besides just being an actor, some of which being an activist and fitness tycoon but she has lived a life shrouded in controversy, tragedy and transformation whilst all of this occurring in the public eye.

Jane Fonda in Five Acts reveals how Fonda has been hated as Hanoi Jane, lusted after as Barbarella and heralded as a beacon of the women’s movement. Through the editing of 21 hours worth of interviews with her we get right to the heart of who Jane Fonda really is, we hear her speak very candidly and frankly about her life and her missteps. Exploring the pain of her mother’s suicide, her father’s emotional unavailability, 30 years of bulimia and three marriages to highly visible, yet very different men.
