Many in the independence movement are frustrated by the lack of progress since 2014, despite Brexit, Westminster scandals, and rising support for independence.

In this film, we explore the SNP’s golden years under Alex Salmond, what changed after the 2014 referendum, the IndyRef2 strategy, the Supreme Court block, internal divisions in the movement, and why trust in politicians has become a key issue for pro-independence voters.
