To See Ourselves

About This Movie

So, you've got 'To See Ourselves,' right? This documentary dives deep into the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, but it’s really a personal journey. Jane McAllister, the filmmaker, takes us along with her father, Fraser, who’s quite the Yes campaigner. The pacing feels reflective, almost intimate, as you see the highs and lows of a family navigating political passion. It’s not just about the vote; it’s about identity and heritage, and how these events shape personal narratives. The footage and interviews have this raw quality to them, which makes the whole experience feel very grounded. You can tell there’s a love for the subject matter here, and it resonates in every frame.
