This is the second episode focusing on our series of films developed for broadcast on BBC Scotland in association with Screen Scotland as part of the Right Here initiative. Right Here explores the rich diversity of Scottish identity through character-driven stories and beautiful imagery, and this episode we’re discussing Zoe Hunter Gordon and Kieran Hennigan’s 30 minute film, Our Fathers, which is available now on BBC iPlayer. While there, you can also watch the other two films in the series, Long Live Livi and Time to Fly. Our Fathers introduces viewers to Father Max and Father James, who have been sent on a mission to Scotland by the Bishop of Aba, Nigeria due to a shortage of priests in the Scottish Highlands. Will their humour and songs keep these remote communities alive? In this interview recorded on Zoom, Zoe and Kieran discuss the process of bringing their idea to TV screens and collaborating as co-directors.
