A vivid snapshot of Scotland's lost opportunity.

This film captures the feeling many (but not enough) people in Scotland had during the 2014 Independence referendum. It follows the filmmaker's family focusing on her father's part in trying to convince his friends and neighbours that things could be better if we left the UK and became an independent country. One that could punch above its weight without being told "too wee, too poor, too stupid". Watching after 10 years it would be good to hear a follow up from those recorded that thought 'better together' was true.

Project fear won and Scotland was diminished further than we could have ever believed.
