Wolfe Video presents Directed by Rebekah Fortune
THE STORY JUST CHARLIE is a film about chasing your dreams, and accepting those who are different because, sometimes, the rules on how to love, what you can do, and who you should be are meant to be broken... The inspiring and heartwarming journey of football mad Charlie, a transgender teenager, discovering her true self in an often unsympathetic world. Starring Patricia Potter and Scot Williams and introducing Harry Gilby. Directed by Rebekah Fortune and produced by Karen Newman for Seahorse Films. Football star, Charlie is a girl trapped in the body of a boy. Rejected by her Father and teammates will she ever play football again? Charlie is a girl divided by the wish to live up to her Father s expectations and the overwhelming need to be true to herself. An all-consuming desire to embrace her true identity gives Charlie the inner strength to stand up for what she knows to be right. The film is set in Tamworth, a small Midlands market town, where everyone knows everyone, where football rules and where the characters struggle to understand things outside of their comfort zones.
