Your support makes all the difference.Finding Jack Charlton delivers a poignant look at the life of the legendary footballer and manager as well as capturing the sadness of his final years.
Directors Gabriel Clarke and Pete Thomas of Noah Media Group attempted to capture both sides of the story in what was a remarkable life.
Despite his passing on 10 July this year, Charlton’s legacy lives on with this groundbreaking documentary hoping to shine a light on his greatness, while also raising awareness of dementia.
"What we wanted to do was shape a film in which Jack was always alive in the film," says Thomas. "That his passing, which was going to happen, was not going to be that significant. We wanted to do certain scenes which captured him in his essence. Because of the way we were able to film with Jack over the last two years, it was very much showing Jack alive and focussing his life which allowed it not to be defined by last moments."
Here you can watch an exclusive clip of the documentary.
Finding Jack Charlton is available on DVD & Digital Download from 23 November.
