The Road Dance

Kirsty Mcleod, is a young woman, coming of age in a small island community in the years before WW1. She dreams of the wider world and a life away from the harsh land and strict religion of her island home. Tragedy strikes twice, once at a village party, and once again, when her boyfriend is sent to war. Inspired by a true story, the film offers a believable window on the rhythms of Hebridean island life at the turn of the twentieth century.

“Almost entirely set in the island community, The Road Dance delivers on its mission to entertain without defying any long-standing conventions. A pleasant slice of afternoon telly for the big screen.” ~Donald Clarke, The Irish Times

“It’s sentimental, though the way Kirsty is helped by women boiling with fury at the injustice does feel modern.” ~Cath Clarke, The Guardian
