Grant McPhee brings this joyous doc telling the story of the golden
age of Scottish indie, from 1982 to 1992, featuring contributions from
some of its most well-known proponents including members of the Jesus
and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and BMX Bandits (pictured). Following on
from McPhee’s Big Gold Dream, which charted the country’s post-punk
scene, it shows how Scots bands gained fame with a concurrent US
vanguard, helped by the formative Creation Records label, before
giving way to the juggernaut of Britpop in the 90s. Ammar Kalia
