Visit Dungavel, Monster of the Glen                      

A Film by Camcorder Guerillas, Scotland, 2005 (25 minutes)

Imagine escaping persecution in your own country, running for safety - then when you thinbk you can breathe freely, you and your children are locked up without trial.

A provocative mix of animation, drama, testimony, music, puppets and Guerilla satire, Visit Dungavel is a shocking, funny, informative and moving series of short films about Detention.

Featuring guest appearances by screen-stars Gary Lewis (Ae Fond Kiss, Billy Elliot), and Cora Bissett (High Times, Rebus) and guest directions by Bafta-winning Actor/Director Alison Peeble (Afterlife, Sex-Traffic, Taggart), this film lifts the lid on Dungavel, Detention and Deportation. 

Show it to your family, friends, and strangers.
