It will at times switch back and forth between both subjects
during points when it is appropriate to the narrative structure of the piece.
It discusses the emotional ties with the country, how often
they have returned, whether they would like to return and asks why they would
or wouldn’t want to.
For my grandfather it also discusses what it was like to be
evacuated, this experience acting as the key conflict within the piece as, in
his words “It was the biggest stab in the back”. It has also acted as a form of impetus for most future events proceeding from that point. Further questions can also be asked for attitudes towards returning had my grandfather not left in the first place.
I trust it to be found informative and entertaining. I certainly enjoyed researching and filming it.
Director’s Statement: - A Father and Daughter’s
Eyes of Gibraltar
Within this piece my
intent is to inform, explain and attempt to expound upon the experiences of my
mother and grandfather of Gibraltar . I wish to
share with everyone some of the knowledge of what it has been like to grow up
and then be forced to leave there, or to be introduced to the land that an
ex-patriot once called home.
Given the brevity of
the piece it will not have too great a level of detail, but it should hopefully
give enough information to make people interested enough to potentially ask
more and discover the richness of culture that the island possesses.
