Chaplin - Spirit of The Tramp
Chaplin’s family embark on a revealing journey into the Gypsy heritage that inspired the creation of his infamous and beloved character The Tramp.
With exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to the Chaplin estate, thanks to the participation of the Chaplin Office, the Chaplin family, and mk2 films, the documentary is a revealing exploration of Chaplin’s Romany heritage constructed from intimate interviews, film extracts, home movies and contributions from renowned contemporary Roma artists including Tony Gatlif, Stochelo Rosenberg, Lita Cabellut, and Farruquito among others.
This marks the feature debut of Carmen Chaplin, granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, and the first time the Chaplin Family has collaborated so extensively on a documentary about their famed relative, with exclusive interviews from Michael J. Chaplin, Geraldine Chaplin, Victoria Chaplin, Jane Chaplin and Christopher Chaplin.
