Film: 'The Bridge Rising / An Drochaid'
Prior to its launch at Glasgow's Celtic Connections, the Skye audience gets a chance to see this feature-length screening of An Drochaid/The Bridge Rising, a lively documentary account of the ten-year battle against the Skye Bridge tolls. A Scottish/Canadian co-production previously broadcast in shorter form on BBC Alba, with the full cinematic story supported by Creative Scotland, it follows the many twists and turns of events through the words of the protagonists themselves, from protesters to prosecutors, engineers to financiers, politicians to police officers, uncovering several surprises in the telling. The film's score, by leading Cape Breton composer and guitarist Scott MacMillan, features his fiddle-wielding compatriot Colin Grant with Scotland's Angus MacDonald, Arthur Cormack, and Mary-Ann Kennedy, as well as MacMillan himself.Date: 11/01/14
