To See Ourselves

synopsis

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.
