STILL YES - a film about grassroots politics in Scotland

STILL YES is a film about the people who are the ‘grass roots’ of Scotland’s campaign for independence to be released online.

In September 2014 a referendum proposing Scottish Independence was lost.

Yet, ten years later polling shows support for Scotland being a separate country has done nothing but go up. It’s the effect of a broad grass roots movement imbedded across the country.

Who are these activists and supporters? What has changed and is changing in Scotland after 10 years?

This is a film without 'politicians'. It tells personal stories. From the 'Yes Bikers' flying flags from motorbikes to 'Painters for Yes'. March organisers to musicians. And ultimately, can this massive civic muscle operating outside politics ever deliver on a dream ?
