Play Trailer  Play Screener  Contact Sales  Collection: Sport

With unprecedented access to Jack Charlton and his family, this remarkable film is the definitive portrait of the extraordinary World Cup winning legend.

Featuring key characters from Jack’s historic career, and previously unseen archive, the film gives an intimate window into Jack’s charismatic personality and managerial philosophy while sharing his previously undocumented life with dementia.

With his memory fading and painfully detaching him from daily life, Jack's dementia may have been triggered by football, the game that has defined his life.

This definitive documentary provides a portrait of a football man and his unique double life: an English World Cup-winning legend, who became manager of Ireland.

Exclusively following Jack’s battle with dementia, the film charts the final moths and ultimate passing of this unique and brilliant man.
