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.


WHY THIS FILM AND WHY NOW?


Observational documentaries are uniquely placed to 'show rather than tell' the essential stories of our time. In todays post-truth world they can provide a unique platform to build bridges of empathy and enable dialogue.

In the face of the UK Government's unwillingness to concede the Scottish Government’s mandate to hold a second referendum; how we move out of this constitutional stalemate is the political question of our time.

We believe there has never been a more important moment to revisit the referendum of 2014; witness again this most energised, peaceful campaign for change and learn any lessons we can.
