The Bill Douglas Trilogy Collection
The Bill Douglas Trilogy recounts the harrowing experiences of a young boy, Jamie, growing up in crippling poverty: material and emotional impoverishment; harrowing privations at the hands of his paternal grandmother; incarceration in a children’s home; living in a hostel for down-and-outs.
Watch My Childhood
Bill Douglas' influential trilogy continues with My Ain Folk, a film that reflects on his childhood in impoverished 1940s Scotland.
Watch My Ain Folk
The story follows Jamie, a young boy who is torn apart by the loss of his grandmother and forced to live with a relative, while his brother Tommy is sent to a welfare home. Left to navigate a lonely and unhappy life, Jamie struggles with the harsh realities of silence, rejection, and violence.
Watch My Way Home
Jamie, a young man, leaves his childhood home to live with his grandmother, then embarks on a journey through various jobs and military service, eventually finding an unlikely friend in Robert while stationed in Egypt.
