Mr Burton is a feature drama charting the relationship between a Port Talbot school teacher and a wild young school boy called Richie Jenkins, who was the son of a boozy miner. Richie dreamed of becoming an actor and Philip recognized his raw talent, tutored him and became his adoptive father.
This film is the story of how Richie Jenkins was turned into Richard Burton, the greatest star Wales has ever produced and who later said of Philip Burton that ‘I owe him everything’.
