The 2014 referendum on Scottish independence sparked a revival of political debate in streets and homes across the country.
When a pregnant film maker picked up her camera to follow her idealistic father’s activism she thought she was capturing the re-birth of a nation. What she captured instead is an unflinching portrait of a man relentless in faith, a family struggling with obsession and a nation gripped by hope and fear.
This poetic, deeply moving film is the untold story of the heart behind the politics during this historic crossroads for Scotland.
Director Jane McAllister will join us for a Q&A session after the public screening.
A brilliant and important film…this must be seen.
