New Scottish Documentary Season: 16 Years Till Summer + Q&A

This screening is part of our New Scottish Documentary season and will be followed by a Q&A with director Lou McLoughlan.

Uisdean wants forgiveness. After 16 years in prison, he has returned home to nurse his ageing father in a small village in the Scottish Highlands. But Uisdean also needs to rebuild his life. With the isolation of the Highland landscape both a blessing and curse, he begins the hard graft of reinventing himself. What follows is as much a struggle with tradition and Highland identity as it is with the weight of his own past.
