The first documentary coproducerd by the Chaplin family, based on his children's investigation into their father's Romani origins. Revisiting the legacy of an icon through a new lens, the film incorporates his extraordinary filmography, original animation and never-seen-before family archives from the Chaplin estate. Borne from a secret letter found in 1977 amongst famed entertainer Charlie Chaplin's private belongings after his death, A MAN OF THE WORLD tells the true origins of The Tramp's Gypsy heritage, and how his once shamed bloodline has influenced storytellers and creatives around the world. Told through the eyes of his descendants, granddaughter Carmen Chaplin uses exclusive archives, original animation and unprecedented access to bring their Romany culture to life.
