Description
The Outer Isles of Scotland were facing a devastating decline. In 1985, Michael Powell embarked on an ambitious project to document their plight through film. However, as he and his crew encountered the same obstacles that had driven the islanders off their land, it became clear that the two stories were intertwined. Powell's book offers a unique perspective on this complex issue, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. By exploring the challenges faced by the filmmakers, Powell sheds light on the human cost of environmental degradation and the struggle to preserve traditional ways of life.
