An unorthodox look at the life of Charles Dickens: actors play various individuals in his life (as well as the man himself), interviewed as if appearing in a contemporary documentary. Their words are from actual letters and journals of the individuals involved, and serve to illuminate the hardships and successes in Dickens' life, and the way his experiences found their way into his works.
