[Sust-mar] An Drochaid: Documentary Film Series Launches in Inverness

[Anne Levesque]

The Inverness County Chapter of the Council of Canadians is launching its
five-week film series on Sunday November 9th with *"An Drochaid/ The Bridge
Rising". *

An epic feel-good story of a modern rebellion, An Drochaid unpacks the
twists and turns of the 10- year battle against the UK's first Private
Finance Initiative: The Skye Bridge Tolls. In it, Scottish islanders take
on the government and the Bank of America--and win!

 Sgeulachd mhisneachail, mu ar-a-mach anns an nòs ùr. Anns an iomairt an
aghaidh cìsean drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich, sheas Eileanaich stàirneil
an aghaidh neart an Riaghaltais agus Banca Ameireagaidh, nuair a chaidh
drochaid-chìsean a thogail le airgead prìobhaideach - gun dòigh eile ann
airson faighinn air no far an Eilein. Tha mòran den sgeul air h-ùr innse.
Tha i èibhinn ann am pàirt, duilich agus deuchainneach le briseadh dùil
cuide ri misneachd is buannachd le farsaingeachd bheachdan agus
sheallaidhean ioma-fhillte bho chuid de na bha an sàs. (from the BBC Alba).

A Scottish-Nova Scotian co-production, An Drochaid’s musical score is by
