Dreams of a Life is a 2011 dramadocumentary film, released by Dogwoof Pictures, directed by Carol Morley and starring Zawe Ashton.

The film interviews various friends, acquaintances and former partners to try to tell the story of Joyce, who is played in reconstructions by Ashton.Director Carol Morley was inspired to make the documentary on Joyces life after reading a barebones article on her that failed to mention her age, race or any detailed information. She tracked down interviewees by taking out ads in newspapers and hiring a cab to drive around London asking people to contact her if they knew Joyce. She was surprised to learn that many of the respondents did not know Joyce was dead until she spoke to them even though some of them remembered hearing of her death when it made newspapers. ........
