Overview
- The HBO teaser, released Oct. 28, includes a brief, on-camera moment in which Farrell embraces his 23-year-old son James, a rare public glimpse of the actor’s private family life.
- The trailer follows Farrell and longtime friend Emma Fogarty as they train for the Dublin Marathon and shows Farrell pushing Fogarty’s wheelchair for the final four kilometers of the race.
- James was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome as a toddler, a rare neurogenetic disorder that affects speech, movement and development and can require lifelong care.
- Farrell launched the Colin Farrell Foundation in 2024 to focus on adults with intellectual disabilities and to push for better services as people age out of youth programs.
- The full documentary, The Slightest Touch, premieres on HBO on November 25 and is likely to raise public attention to caregiving needs, service gaps for adults with disabilities, and questions about family privacy and visibility.
