Gritty tale of tortured power-battle within the Harris tweed industry. Crofters, weavers, mill-owners and vicars. Islanders take veiled suggestion that they might be slightly behind-the-times very personally, with a resultant battle fought out in Stornoway Gazette. Shooting London, Paris New York, Tokyo, and Harris. TX “Justifies the license fee” (Tom Sutcliffe, Independent) No 4 in Independent’s 2009 TV Top Ten.
