City of Hope: Scotland s Symbol Of The Future | Real Stories

Award-winning Scottish director Hannah Currie’s film is centered on the Hope Sculpture, a work created by artist and designer Steuart Padwick, to mark the climate change conference, COP26, in Glasgow in 2021. City of Hope focuses on those who are working in the city, from climate change experts and young activists to health specialists and community leaders, to find out what ‘hope’ means to them, including Sir Harry Burns, Professor of Global Public Health at Strathclyde University, and Trans activist and actor Adam Kashmiry. COP26, and the sculpture, provide a springboard for these conversations, with an emphasis on resilience and optimism. City of Hope brings to life diverse voices through interviews, stunning shots of Glasgow, the Hope Sculpture, city landmarks, and personal stories of fear, hope and redemption. It also looks at the environmental impact on mental health and wellbeing and reflects residents’ real struggles, as well as their hopes for the future. BAFTA Award-winning director Hannah Currie hails from Glasgow and is a passionate advocate for mental health and the environment. Her graduation film, We Are All Here, won the Mind Media award for Student Journalism in 2018 and was subsequently commissioned by the BBC.
