The film made its UK debut at Birmingham’s Flatpack Festival on May 8, highlighting a fascinating chapter in Chaplin’s life rooted in the Midlands. Directed by Chaplin’s granddaughter, Carmen Chaplin, the documentary was inspired by the discovery of a letter hidden within Chaplin’s private archives.
