Thèid an t-sreath ùr a chur air a casan le Dealachadh - sùil mhothachail air suidheachadh àraidh iomadh teaghlaich ann an Alba, gu sònraichte air taobh siar na dùthcha, 's na boireannaich ann an coimhearsnachdan iomallach gu h-eachdraidheil a' cumail rian air na gnothaichean làitheil 's na fìr air falbh ag obair son greisean fada. The eachdraidh fhada anns na h-eileanan Siar de dh' fhireannaich agus boireannaich ag obair air falbh bho an dachaighean agus an teaghlaichean - air tir mòr, aig muir dhomhainn, no thall thairis. Chun an là an-diugh tha e doirbh beòshlaint a dhèanamh sna h-eileanan agus tha na fir gu h-àraidh fhathast a' dol a shaighdearachd, a sheòladh, no a dh' obair ann an gnìomhachas an ola. Ann an Dealachadh cluinnear sgeulachdan chòignear bhoireannach a th' air an sgaradh bho na fir air sgàth an cuid obrach.

´óÏó´«Ã½ ALBA's flagship documentary series, Trusadh, is back with another fresh and diverse range of programming coming up over the coming months. The series kicks off with Half a Life Away - a sensitive insight into a selection of contrasting families throughout Scotland, and in particular the west coast, where women in isolated communities have historically been left holding the fort for extended periods with the men working away. The Western Isles in particular have a long history of men and women working away from home and their families - on the mainland, deep sea or abroad. It's still difficult to make a living in the islands and men especially still go away - to the army, to sea, or to work off-shore in the oil industry. Half a Life Away tells the story of five such women who are separated due to different work commitments.
