An Drochaid/The Bridge Rising

Eileanaich a' str矛 an aghaidh c矛sean air an aon dhrochaid a tha a' ceangal an Eilein aca ri t矛r-m貌r. Plucky Scottish islanders fight to stop tolls on the bridge to their island.

Sgeulachd mhisneachail, mu ar-a-mach anns an n貌s 霉r. Anns an iomairt an aghaidh c矛sean drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich, sheas Eileanaich st脿irneil an aghaidh neart an Riaghaltais agus Banca Ameireagaidh, nuair a chaidh drochaid-ch矛sean a thogail le airgead pr矛obhaideach - gun d貌igh eile ann airson faighinn air no far an Eilein. Tha m貌ran den sgeul air h-霉r innse. Tha i 猫ibhinn ann am p脿irt, duilich agus deuchainneach le briseadh d霉il cuide ri misneachd is buannachd le farsaingeachd bheachdan agus sheallaidhean ioma-fhillte bho chuid de na bha an s脿s.

The epic, feel-good story of a modern rebellion. The campaign against the tolls on the Skye bridge pitted plucky Scottish islanders against the might of the government and the Bank of America, over the building of a privately funded toll bridge which became the only way on or off the island. This film tells an untold, bittersweet story of passion, legal challenge and financial wrangling through the testimony of some of those who took part.
