Silicon Glen: From Ships to Microchips is a compelling dive into the once-thriving tech hub of Scotland, a place that blended tradition with innovation. The film explores how IBM's arrival in post-war Greenock shifted the landscape from shipbuilding to microprocessors, showcasing personal stories and the human impact of these changes. It's got that raw documentary feel, with interviews that feel candid and reflective. Pacing is a bit slow at times, but it allows for a deeper appreciation of the nostalgia and loss. The themes of technological progress vs. local identity resonate well, making you think about how industries shape communities. An interesting watch for anyone into tech history or regional transformations.
