Sociopolitical Documentary hosted by Jane McCarry, published by BBC in 2023 - English narration.



Information
------------------------------
Documentary showcasing the game of shinty and the Highland communities that play it. Shinty's ancient origins date as far back as the 5th century, when it was believed to be the traditional battle game of the Highlands clans. By the 18th century, it had become Scotland's most popular game and can lay claim to giving birth to golf, ice hockey, and even the development of football, which borrowed set positions such as defender, midfielder and forward from the game. Today, however, shinty is underfunded and largely ignored outside the Highlands, but it remains strong in the small communities where it began centuries ago.
