A documentary that follows Jack Charles for seven years.
A thoughtful movie that focuses more on his fallen-lifestyle than his rise, success, fall and recovery. Though it was not its intention to, I find this movie reveals a lot about how fallen men are treated. No respect, no concern, no support. Acting out and desperation are treated as crimes, not cries.
- Jack Charles, aka Jackie Charles.
- “Bastardy” is illegitimacy.
- Jack Charles on IMDB

While Jack is notable, and Bastardy won the 2009 AFI Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary, this film has no Wikipedia entry. I feel that says a lot.
 2012 National Photographic Portrait Prize winner: Jack Charles 2011 by Rod McNicol.
