As his retirement approaches, Jim searches for new meaning in his life. Red Hill examines Scotland鈥檚 industrial past and its connection to a man鈥檚 sense of purpose.

Jim is an isolated ex-miner who works as a night-shift security guard facing his last day at work before retirement. He spends the night patrolling the slag heap of a former coal mine - a remnant of Scotland's industrial past.

This award-winning film explores the intrinsic relationship of an individual to work and asks what is left when, at the end of a lifetime of labour, a man loses his purpose.
