British actress Kate Winslet is known for some iconic film roles, none perhaps more well-known than her lead-role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. The Oscar-winning actress most recently starred in the hard-hitting TV drama I Am Ruth, which aired on Channel 4 on Thursday (December 8).
The feature-length programme is the latest instalment of the Bafta-nominated and female-led drama anthology series I Am, created by filmmaker Dominic Savage. It sees Winslet, 47, star as Ruth, a concerned mother who witnesses her teenage daughter retreating into herself as she becomes more consumed by the pressures of social media.
Winslet developed and co-authored the storyline with Savage after they both shared stories about parenting their own teenagers. The semi-improvised show features a small cast, and focuses heavily on the strained mother-daughter relationship.
