Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Less than 60,000 Gaelic speakers remain; this film documents what 'intangible heritage' actually means when it disappears in real time.
McAlpine spent three years earning trust before filming; several storytellers appear only as voices or hands, protecting their 'sight' from camera's intrusion.
