From the Essential Media and Entertainment website:

“THE REAL MARY POPPINS is an extraordinary documentary revealing the fascinating complexity of Mary Poppins’ creator Pamela. Travers and the truth that lies behind her enduring creation. This story forms the premise for the upcoming Disney feature film Saving Mr. Banks, starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, also produced by Essential Media. Featuring interviews with key players such as Robert Sherman, composer of music and lyrics of original Mary Poppins movie, as well as Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks who provide insight into Pamela Travers and Walt Disney’s relationship. “

Both The Real Mary Poppins and Saving Mr Banks had their genesis in the book Mary Poppins, She Wrote: The Life of P. L. Travers by Valerie Lawson, which in turn inspired the original 2002 documentary The Shadow of Mary Poppins
