Description: This contemporary take on cinema’s most iconic figure blends newly-unearthed audio recordings and dramatic reconstructions to trace Chaplain’s meteoric rise from the slums of Victorian London to the heights of Hollywood superstardom, before his scandalous fall from grace. The film sheds new light on the many sides of a groundbreaking, controversial and visionary artist. For decades he was the most famous man in the world – but who was "The Real Charlie Chaplain?"
