Finding Jack Charlton
19 19Europe/Madrid September 19Europe/Madrid 2022 / 19:00
Recognized as one of the best sports documentaries of recent years, “Finding Jack Charlton” is an intimate approach to the figure of the mythical coach of the Irish national team, an Englishman, world champion with England, who became one of the dearest people in Ireland. Co-directed by Gabriel Clarke (Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager; Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans) and Pete Thomas (Adam Hills: Take His Legs), the film was shot during the last eighteen months of Jack Charlton’s life, in which the legend suffered from senile dementia, and is also a moving reflection on identity and memory.
Other outstanding voices from that memorable Irish selection of the late eighties and early nineties participate in the film, such as Andy Townsend, Paul MacGrath, David O’Learey, Niall Quinn or Pat Bonner.
