Glasgow, Love & Apartheid

GLAA poster
In the year of Nelson Mandela’s centenary, Glasgow, Love and Apartheid is the story of one family’s fight against apartheid from Scotland and South Africa. Director, Dhivya Kate Chetty, follows her parents – a mixed, and once ‘illegal’, couple – on a trip back to South Africa where the family stories begin to unfold – protests, an uncle in jail, an ANC arms cache, a doctor on the run and a surprise connection with Mandela in hiding. Illustrated with vivid super 8 shot by both grandfather and father, this intimate documentary is a tale of migration, resistance and reconciliation from South Africa to Scotland with love.

This world premiere marks the 25th anniversary of Mandela’s historic visit to Glasgow.

Screening as part of Black History Month.

The Dirty Digger

To whet the appetite in anticipation of our latest feature The End of the Game , here is the full version of The Dirty Digger. Directed by David Graham Scott and produced, filmed and co-edited by yours truly, it explores the dark and dangerous world of the Digger – an underground crime magazine electrifying Glasgow. Working as the paper’s court photographer, David joined vigilante editor James Cruickshank on his controversial campaign to rid the city of crime and corruption.

The Dirty Digger is a 30-minute ‘Gonzo style’ documentary commissioned for BBC Scotland’s Storyline strand in 2007 and executive produced by David Peat. Special mention to the wonderful Chris Bowman who also co-edited.
