A DOCUMENTARY reflecting on the “peaceful” and “vibrant” campaign for Scottish independence in 2014 has been launched on Amazon Prime.
To See Ourselves, created by award-winning director Jane McAllister, is a “hopeful” and “authentic” re-telling of the Scottish referendum campaign.
McAllister captured footage in the run-up to the referendum during the summer of 2014, despite having no budget for the film, and being heavily pregnant at the time.
The film follows her father, Yes campaigner Fraser McAllister, and shows how the run up and the evening of the referendum unfolded in the east coast town of Musselburgh.
It explores themes from a personal perspective as her family "struggles with obsession” while capturing the hopes and fears of the nation during the run-up to September 18, 2014.
To See Ourselves is now available to view on the streaming platform Amazon Prime.
It is available to Rent in HD for £3.49 and in SD for £2.49. Rentals include 30 days to start watching this video and 48 hours to finish once started.
Viewers can also buy the film in HD for £7.99 and in SD for £6.99.
The film description on the Amazon Prime listing states: "An observational account of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum viewed through the lens of a pregnant filmmaker as she follows her idealist father's activism and reveals the heart behind the politics during this historic crossroads for the UK."
Yes activist Ruth Watson said the listing for an international viewing service was a "tremendous achievement" for McAllister.
She added: "This gets the story of the Scottish independence movement onto the international stage, something which wouldn't have been possible without all the support from folk across Scotland who helped get the crowdfunder across the line."
The film previously completed an extensive tour around Scotland, including locations like Glasgow, Dundee, Dunfermline, Bo'ness, Stirling, Cumbernauld, Inverness and Oban.
