Merchant Ivory is a feature documentary film produced and directed by Stephen Soucy in collaboration with Oscar-winning director and screenwriter James Ivory.

The film is the definitive presentation and tribute to the Merchant Ivory partnership, anchored by interviews with James Ivory and forty-one Merchant Ivory close collaborators. It details and celebrates their experiences of being part of the “wandering company” helmed by legendary producer Ismail Merchant. Merchant Ivory classics include A Room With a View, Maurice, The Remains of the Day, and Howards End.

With six Academy Award winners among the notable artists participating, including Emma Thompson and Vanessa Redgrave, the documentary provides new and compelling perspectives on a unique partnership that produced seminal films over four decades.
