Synopsis
Finding Jack Charlton covers the managing career of Charlton.

The filmmakers shifted their focus to include Charlton's last years and the impact of dementia on him and his family.
Other Irish footballers and cultural icons, including Larry Mullen Jr., Roddy Doyle, and Paul McGrath, are interviewed in the documentary.
