Compelling interviews – including eye-witnesses speaking on record for the first time – are blended with full-scale drama to portray a story of love, deceit, wealth and power.

Summer 1997
One year after her divorce with Prince Charles, Diana is driven by a renewed desire to fulfill her private hopes and ambitions. Amid the constant glare of publicity, she is living life to the full – in the company of Dodi Al Fayed.

From sun-drenched holidays in the Med, to the grandeur and glamour of Paris, Diana enjoys a new-found sense of control. Yet all the while she is exposing herself to the whims of her host. Her whirlwind romance with Dodi takes place in a fabulous world of private jets, multimillion pound yachts and personal entourages – and all of it belongs to the Al Fayed family.

Behind the scenes, Dodi’s harassed bodyguards are struggling to keep up with the ever-changing plans. Worryingly, the paparazzi seem to know the couple’s every move – it is almost as if there is a mole in the camp. The newspapers, awash with rumors of engagement rings and pregnancy, will pay anything for something new about Diana. Photographers know they can make millions if they get the right picture.

As Diana pursues an elusive sense of freedom, all around her the paparazzi chase the promise of instant riches. Inevitably events spiral out of control, as a catalog of rushed decisions made in the heat of the moment ultimately send Henri Paul, Trevor Rees-Jones, Dodi and Diana on their fatal dash through the Alma Tunnel.

This film is committed to an honest presentation of the final days of Diana’s life and the circumstances of her death. The script is based on the testimony of A-list interviewees, and is supported by the 800-page Paget report, published in 2006 by the UK’s Metropolitan Police after a four-year investigation.

Diana fulfils an audience’s need to understand an event that shocked the world. Since that day, a thousand headlines have blurred the truth. Our film will bring clarity and closure.
