Telling Scotland's Stories with Mairi Sutherland

We meet independent film maker Mairi Sutherland who has  been making independent Scottish films for more than 20 years.  Mairi has credits as Producer, Director, Screen Writer including the award winning film Red Rose, about the life and mysterious early death of Robert Burns at the age of 37.  
Mairi tells us about the making of the film back in 2004 and the changes she has seen in the film industry in Scotland and Hollywood since that time.  
The film is celebrating its 20th anniversary and Mairi is looking to arrange showings in cinemas, theatres and other venues to share the story and take part in audience discussions.

The film is available on Youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mntIL0HhciY and is also available on DVD.
