A social/cultural project to increase the access to Chaplin’s work to every social class of Brazilian school children.

A group of Chaplin enthusiasts has decided to take Charlie to school. The response has been overwhelmingly positive and it is lovely to hear that Chaplin films still delight children of all nationalities.

The organisers have prepared a video of one of the first Sao Paolo school visits in the hope of gaining sponsorship to buy projectors and other materials.

Books, Books, Books

Charlie Chaplin has never ceased to inspire writers wether for his life or the myth he created around the character of the little tramp.

One (“The Tramp’s Odyssey”:http://www.charliechaplin.com/products/books/60-The-Tramp-s-Odyssey) “weighs the relationship between the Tramp, his creator, and his worldwide fans”.

The other (“Chaplin: A Life”:http://www.charliechaplin.com/products/books/59-Chaplin-A-Life) “illuminates both the screen legend and the turbulent era through which he lived and worked”

P.S : some of you may have noticed a whole new site has been created. More about it soon!
