ABOUT THE FILM
This film is about community land ownership in Scotland, a movement that has gained a lot of traction in the country over the years. The film is part of a bigger project that aimed to collect stories about land ownership from the people who are part of the communities who own their own land and assets. It was created in collaboration with a combination of urban and rural community trusts; Bridgend Farmhouse in Edinburgh, North Harris Trust, South West Mull and Iona Development Trust. Each trust represented a different geographical location in Scotland and a range of ages and backgrounds.

This film was shot in 2020 and all social distancing guidelines were adhered to in the making of this film.
