50 years on from the making of The Wicker Man (1973), director Robin Hardy’s lost papers come to filmmaker son Justin. Enlisting his brother Dominic, they journey to discover the complex nature of independent filmmaking and fatherhood. Justin’s view of the film is tainted because it robbed him of his father, his home and his mother too. Dominic is more distanced, his experience relating more to the film’s subsequent cult status. The sons can ask: what was Robin Hardy’s creative contribution to The Wicker Man? Viewers may not always like what the brothers find, but will come closer to understanding the evolution of one of cinema's most famous cult classics, and the maverick director behind it.
Explores the salacious career of mysterious British filmmaker and distributor David Hamilton-Grant, who was the only supplier to be sent to prison for releasing a "video nasty". Hamilton-Grant navigated loopholes in the law in the 70s in order to produce and screen smut in an extremely censorship restricted Britain. When the home video boom hit in the 80s he was one of the first to capitalize on the initially far less regulated format... but he would pay the price. Then things get really dark and strange.
