When The Song DIes
When The Song Dies is a poetic documentary that weaves stories, songs and memories from across Scotland, and places their testament in counterpoint to the richly evocative landscape of the Machars in Wigtownshire.
Featuring a range of contributors, the film is a poignant reminder of what was sung and said, and what is left behind.
