Second in a trio of films on the lives and works of Scottish writers.

Championed as Britain's first rave writer, Irvine Welsh takes his readers to places that, for many, are terrifying, brutal and alien. He burst onto the literary scene with his first novel, the Booker-nominated Trainspotting, about four Edinburgh junkies. It has now achieved cult status and has been adapted for both stage and screen.
This film takes a disturbing journey that combines both documentary and dramatic imagery of the despair, drug addiction and physical and sexual violence of Irvine Welsh's books.
The programme contains strong language and depicts scenes of physical and sexual violence that some viewers may find disturbing.
