Brief synopsis of Bill Douglas Trilogy
Douglas' magnificent award-winning Trilogy is the product of an assured, formidable artistic vision. These are some of the most compelling films about childhood ever made. The films narrative is largely autobiographical, following Jamie - eight years old when we first meet him - as he grows up in a poverty-stricken mining village in post-war Scotland. These are brutal surroundings, and Jamie is subject to hardship and rejection, at the mercy of the relatives and neighbours responsible for his welfare. Through these films we see Jamie grow from child to adolescent; angry, bewildered, and violent, yet playful, affectionate, and full of imagination.

The Observer
A bleak, almost physically painful picture, distilled from the bitter memories of one of this country's most original talents... This trilogy will come to be regarded not just as a milestone, but as one of the heroic achievements of the British Cinema
The Guardian
No films about childhood have been made that are superior to these, nor will there ever be
