It's in the Blood

A personal portrait of a South Uist township through the crofting calendar.

A personal portrait of crofting life on the Isle of South Uist, Scotland, told through layers of memory and action. The bardic hills are steeped in stories of survival and this film captures a sense of this. The story explores how the greatest challenge today is not from the longest test rocket missile firing range in Europe next door but from the growing number of Greylag geese who feast on the crofters’ corn.
