Richard Harris takes centre stage through hours of unheard tapes to tell his story, whilst his sons, led by Jared Harris, explore their life with a famous father. This feature documentary reveals there was much more to Harris than his hellraiser image.

One of the most remarkable and controversial actors of his generation, Richard Harris brought an intense and electric presence to both stage and screen, in a career spanning five decades and many different film genres. In Adrian Sibley’s evocative new film about the Irish actor, each of his three sons – Jared, Jamie and Damian – brings their own perspective to bear as they summon the ghost of their late father to the screen.

Together, they create this candid and revealing insight into the private life and public career of Richard Harris, discovering a complex individual behind the hellraising image he created.
