A hundred years ago on this very day, Chaplin left England for America. Film historian David Trigg marks this event with a screening of The Immigrant, and shows, with extracts from his other films, how in Hollywood Chaplin searched for suitable locations and built sets based on his South London childhood – one resembling the building which now houses the Cinema Museum, the old Lambeth Workhouse , where Charlie and his family were once forced to reside.
