The full length trailer for the Jack to a King: The Swansea Story - a rags to riches documentary about the city's football club - has been released ahead of the films big screen date of September 12.

Jack to a King, directed by Marc Evans, the man behind the camera for the hugely successful Hinterland, charts the incredible true story of Swansea City's journey from the lower rungs of league football to the Premier League.

Through archive and fan-submitted footage, alongside intimate interviews with key Swansea City fans, players and staff, it tells the story of how the club was sold for just £1 in 2001 and then, 10 years later, achieved the £90million promotion to the Premier League.

Jack to a King aims to give a never-before seen picture of what really happened when the club was in dire straits, including interviews with the fans who stepped up and pooled their money together (some with Tesco bags full of cash) to save the team they loved, as well as hearing from the most maligned man in Swansea at the time, Tony Petty, who gives a rare interview reflecting on his time as club owner.

BAFTA award-winning director Evans said: “This is not just a film about the rise of Swansea City Football Club, but the story of a town and the people who made the club what it is today.”
