Celebrating 60 years of television in Scotland, this episode shows the power of documentary to give people a voice who would normally not be heard. Television programmes such as Lilybank and The Scheme presented those living on the breadline. A riveting documentary about Barlinnie's ground breaking Special Unit gives a voice to some of Scotland's most notorious prisoners.
The Bowler and the Bunnet - directed by Sean Connery - and The Fight for Clydeside show the slow decline of Scotland's most prominent industry, shipbuilding, and those fighting to save it. Films such as Culloden and The Cheviot the Stag and the Black, Black Oil, presented history from the point of view of the underdog. And the iconic documentary, The Boy David.
