Project Detail

Giants

Synopsis

Drifting through his post-industrial town scavenging for scrap, isolated teenager Sandy finds unexpected purpose after meeting conspiracy theorist Don, who tasks him with destroying a local wind farm.
A subversive retelling of Cervantes' Don Quixote - GIANTS is set against the backdrop of about living in an austerity-ravaged north-eastern town, a community stripped of its purpose and prospects the way ships were broken on it's very doorstep; its about false visions for the future for young men often groomed by radical ideology; and it's about the giants we imagine for ourselves.
