See The Happy Lands at the Festival of Politics

Saturday 24 August 2013, 17.00 - 19.30: News from the Festival of Politics: "The Happy Lands is a unique film focussing on Fife’s mining communities around the time of the great strike in 1926.

"It maps the events that many say laid the foundation of Scotland’s identification with socialism and internationalism and asks the questions that many Scots feel aren’t being asked within the current Yes/No campaign.

"Join us for a screening of this groundbreaking film, followed by a discussion and debate that will explore notions of identity and community. Does legacy inform our identity and shape our communities, and how important are identity and community as we head towards the referendum?"

See The Happy Lands this week

@thehappylands The Happy Lands film is showing in Edinburgh on Wed 15 and Aberdeen on Thurs 16 May. Details for the Cameo Edinburgh are here and for the Belmont Aberdeen are here. See also the Happy Lands facebook page here.
    The people of Fife capture the true drama of the 1926 General Strike - the struggles, the hardship, and ultimately the triumph - in this epic feature film. A definitive moment in national history, the film tells the real personal stories of their forebears: the struggles, the hardship, and ultimately the triumph of the indomitable human spirit.
