The Saturday Film: Dawn!

BBC One
on BBC One London

starring Bronwyn Mackay-Payne
Dawn Fraser is the only person ever to win three Gold Medals at consecutive Olympic Games. Yet despite her world fame, the only job she could find was delivering groceries.
This screen version of her story presents an unusual and fascinating portrait of a champion swimmer whose erratic and controversial life-style proved as newsworthy as her sporting success.
Written and produced by joy CAVILL Directed by KEN HANNAM
